Re:unused idea for mosquito control (Score 1)

I think that it would be really important that these modifications didn't iterate over _too_ many generations as the mosquito population would be irrevocably changed. Also it's really scarey having chemically/genetically altered insects which come into direct contact with the blood stream of everything they bite (frogs, lizards, people, everything) is really scarey business. 99.99% isn't safe enough!! Here in the deep south I have to say mosquitos suck horribly (no pun intended) but I would much prefer strong natural animals roaming around so that when the human population finally makes himself extinct or nearly so, at least the planet can rebuild.
