RE: Genetically modified mosquitoes released in Cayman Islands

in #science8 years ago

Yeah, this is a really great application of genetic modification technology. The Ades ageypti mosquito is one that harbors the most diseases, and by putting these genetic dead ends into the system it should eradicate a ton of them. Interesting fact, mosquitos are not a prime source of food for any other living thing. They could largely be eradicated to no detriment.
