Description
Summary:Vector-borne disease specialists, ethicists, and funding/regulatory agency officials should work together to reach consensus on the most appropriate risk-management recommendations for the complex scenarios that constitute vector field research. Open debate of the virtues and concerns of vector release experiments will cultivate new approaches and a more rigorous and reasonable system of accountability.
