Researchers have devised an unusual way to battle a recurring problem that has cost a diversity of birds in the Hawaiian rainforests.

The newly developed system uses CRISPR-Cas9 “scissors” and a guide RNA to make a genetic cut at a precise location within the mosquito’s genome. It then replaces the unwanted amino acid that transmits ...
