efforts between molecular and population geneticists, ecologists, regulatory agen-
cies, pest-management specialists, and sustained efforts to educate the public about
the benefits and potential risks of releasing GMAs into the environment. Risks asso-
ciated with releasing arthropod vectors of human disease require evaluation by
vector-borne disease specialists and ethicists, as well as regulatory agency officials
(
Aultman et al. 2000
). When a mosquito, or other vector of human or animal dis-
ease, is genetically modified, such risk assessments may be especially controversial.
