I’ve seen debates on whether mosquitoes should be made extinct through gene manipulation. It looks like the zika virus may well be the best argument for doing so.

Mosquitoes are a significant part of the food chain. I can imagine control, but not extinction. A conservative approach is warranted here.

Bringing back DDT is a good interim solution, too.
