GM mosquitoes

We human always thought that why God has created mosquitoes on this earth when they don't contribute,anything to this earth and are only a headache to human race.

These mosquitoes are a good carrier of the viruses and act as booster in spreading various diseases like malaria, chickengunia, Japanese encephalitis and many more.

Human race has always been involved in various researches to eliminate them from the face of this earth. Malaria had created a mess in many of the Western, Africa and South Asian countries leading to large no.  of  human deaths. As a result first humans tried to make a vaccine of malaria , but they failed to find one. So at last they decided to eliminate the mosquito itself.

So many scientist came together to create the GENETICALLY MODIFIED MOSQUITOES whose most of the offspring's will be males only.

Before we move further one should know that its the female mosquitoes that is generally attracted to the humans and not the male one, hence its the female mosquitoes that are mainly responsible for malaria, chickengunia etc. It is so because females require protein in order to lay eggs so she takes protein from human blood and in this process it transmits virus taken from an infected person.

So scientist in order to eliminate female mosquitoes, inserted a gene in the male ones, which attaches with the X chromosome in the male sperm and transmits that only while matting. So when they mate it results in their offspring being male only. This gene is also transmitted from one generation to another.

So according to scientists, in four generations it will eliminate female mosquitoes slowly. While in the mean time due to decreasing female ones various diseases will also reduce. Thus over time it will eliminate mosquitoes from this earth.

But one should not forget that all living things on this earth have one or the other linkages and hence elimination of the whole specie might lead to some adverse consequences even. So one can just wait and watch what will be its effect.
