This may include cross hybridization with other species, leading to new ecological problems. Lack of understanding of environmental impacts may lead to irreversible damage. 4.2 Regulatory and management measures Establishing a strict regulatory framework is key to ensuring the safety of the technology. Government departments and international organizations should collaborate to develop and implement appropriate regulations that set standards for research and application of gene drive release technologies. This includes regulation of laboratory experiments and field trials to ensure that ethical principles and environmental protection regulations are followed during research. The development of detailed ecological risk assessment programs is also necessary. Before implementing a gene drive release strategy, an adequate ecological risk assessment must be carried out to determine the likely impact of the release on the surrounding ecosystem. This involves a comprehensive study of the ecological impacts on the target mosquitoes as well as other associated organisms in order to predict potential ecological changes. In order to enhance the controllability of the technology, it is critical to develop an effective ecological monitoring program. The monitoring system should be capable of tracking the behavior, population dynamics, and possible ecological effects of released gene-driven mosquitoes in real time. This real-time monitoring will allow managers to take timely corrective action to ensure the controllability and safety of the technology. In order to minimize the ethical and environmental risks of gene drive releases, an effective regulatory and management framework must be in place. This includes clear regulations, ethical guidelines and monitoring mechanisms to ensure the safety and compliance of the technology. Regulators need to work closely with scientists, social professionals and policy makers to ensure that the regulations put in place are comprehensive, scientifically sound, fair and able to adapt to technological developments in a timely manner. 4.3 Community collaboration for support and feedback Close collaboration with the community is critical in order to increase social acceptance and better understand potential environmental impacts. The process of community engagement allows the public to voice their concerns, ask questions, and participate in the decision-making process. This collaborative model helps to build transparency, increase public understanding of gene-drive release technologies, and provide information about local environmental and cultural characteristics to better accommodate the practical application of the technology. An in-depth study of the ethical issues that gene drive release may face and how to minimize the risks will provide key information for the rational application of the technology. The comprehensiveness of the ethical and environmental risk assessment will help scientists, policy makers and the public to better understand the potential risks of gene drive release technology and provide guiding principles for future research and applications. This will help to ensure that the diffusion and application of the technology is sustainable and responsible. 5 Summary and Outlook By examining the gene-driven release strategy of Culex quinquefasciatus, this study delved into the ecological basis of the technique, the challenges, and the optimization strategy based on ecological modeling (Hafez et al., 2021), introduced the important role of the bearded mosquitoes in the transmission of diseases, and emphasized the urgency to carry out the research on gene-driven release. Gene-driven release has attracted widespread attention as a potential means of mosquito control, clarifying the objectives and scope of the study, and introducing ecological models as a theoretical basis for optimization strategies. In discussing the application of ecological modeling, researchers delved into its common applications in mosquito population dynamics studies. Ecological models not only provide tools for understanding population dynamics, but also provide a scientific basis for optimizing gene-driven release strategies. This study introduces the fundamentals of gene-driven release and reviews existing strategies to establish background knowledge for subsequent studies, and delves into the uncertainties in population dynamics and potential impacts on genetic diversity that gene-driven release may face. These challenges complicate the development of gene-driven release strategies, which require integrated consideration of ecosystem complexity and uncertainty.
