People used to import "natural" predators for pest control. Now American scientists are going one huge step forward. They want to introduce artificial pests for disease control. Just how will they deal with the super-mosquitoes after malaria become history? Will they introduce genetically modified, mosquito-resistant human?
US scientists create mosquito resistant to malaria
US researchers have created genetically-modified mosquitoes resistant to a malaria parasite, raising the possibility of one day stopping the spread of the disease, a new study says.
The genetically-engineered mosquitoes outbred natural mosquitoes when fed malaria-infected blood from mice, according to the study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
