Pathway 24 Human health: Potentially altered physiology in dsxFCRISPRh transgenic could lead them to vector human disease not previously vectored by Anopheles gambiae. Relevant physiology in this pathway might include immune system function or capacity for co-infection. Diseases newly transmitted by transgenics would necessarily already be present in the environment into which the transgenics were released. The components of vectorial capacity (V) that would be affected in this pathway are shown in red in the equation
