Since mosquitoa spread disease via bites, how would this help - unless the males mate with the females and produce other “infected” females.?

I know it's traditional here to not click to source articles, but right in the middle of the excerpt..

When the infected males mate with wild female mosquitoes, the offspring do not survive, helping suppress mosquito populations over time.

Thanks - whether I click links to other articles in the main one depends on my interest level - I appreciate your pointing it out though.

I wonder when others will decide it’s a bad thing because it deprives birds and such that eat mosquitoes of their food.
