Some scientists are genetically modifying a male mosquito that makes the Aedes aegypti females unable to produce viable larvae — the larva hatch too early, killing the species off.
We live in interesting times. We can introduce a population of mosquito that will exterminate itself — no chemical warfare. A simple abatement procedure, releasing males that reduce the local population group by 80%.
Yup. And the GMO-freakazoids and hell bent on fighting it, even though it works. FDA has approved some small testing but the usual footdragging continues. I’d rather have a targeted solution than a chem spray that kills everything.
