[quote=Anonymous]Years ago, I read this long but engrossing article in Smithsonian Magazine about the potential for neutering and/or eradicating mosquitoes and whether or not we should. Maybe I'm a science nerd, but it was a fascinating read. It looks like they've done some trials since this piece was published eight years ago but I don't know the results of those trials. (As a side note, the mosquito has, by far, killed more humans than any other animal on earth.) https://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/kill-all-mosquitos-180959069/#:~:text=In%20Oxitec's%20program%2C%20male%20larvae,die%20before%20they%20can%20reproduce.[/quote]
