Malaysia releases lab mosquitoes to fight dengue
To read an article which discusses the fact that the Government of Malysia has released 6,000 genetically modified Aedes aegypti male mosquitoes to mate with females, in order that these females will produce no offspring or ones with shorter lives, thus curtailing the mosquito population please click on the link above this sentence. Wow female mosquitos which produce no offspring or offspring with shorter lives I am sure we all hope this experiment works!!
