Pretty sure I saw this method tried in a movie once.
It ended with Will Smith all alone in New York talking to mannequins.

Sterile male mosquitoes to mate with female mosquitoes??
This is binary/heteronormative thinking. What about the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered mosquitoes?? What if the sterile males turn out to be homosexual and don’t mate with the females? What if the females put off family to pursue their careers????
To: Trumpinator
Hasn’t the use of sterile mosquitoes, fruit flies been the go to method for eradication of them for decades?

Isn’t that how they got rid of screw worms? Released a bunch of sterile males? I think I remember it that way.

Here’s the magic control for the following mosquito borne diseases:
Eastern equine encephalitis
Japanese encephalitis
La Crosse encephalitis
St. Louis encephalitis
West Nile virus
Western equine encephalitis
Dengue Fever
Malaria
Rift Valley Fever
Yellow Fever
Zika
DDT available quicker than any disease specific vaccine as yet undeveloped and untested.....

The report there alleges that GM mosquitoes were released in the same area where there are high instances of Zika.

I have never heard of Zika till now. What happened - evolution is that quick?
