CRISPR gives us an editing mechanism. But you still need to deliver it to hosts. Perhaps via some kind of viral vector: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl

But... it's not clear to me that this will work. You'd have all kinds of issues with the viral population mutating. I'd guess the virus would in most cases not kill the host before their natural defenses kick it. Not really spreading in the population etc.
