Genetically modified mosquitoes such that their proboscis are no longer able to penetrate human skin.


GM mosquitoes are mass-produced in a laboratory to carry two types of genes: A self-limiting gene that prevents female mosquito offspring from surviving to adulthood. A fluorescent marker gene that glows under a special red light. This allows researchers to identify GM mosquitoes in the wild.

Hmmm all this Genetics modification, I hope it will not lead to another issue and will all this companies making billions of dollars from malaria drugs allow this undecided

Mosquitos are like family...



Annoying but they carry your blood. embarassed

Hopefully, genetically modified mosquitoes will prevail, eliminating the ability of all mosquitoes to transmit malaria.

Wow, these whites and Asians are busy playing God while Africans still killing themselves over religion. Imagine editing the genetic code of an entire species of insects to suit your needs, something no pastor on this planet can do.grin

Science is indeed the future.

Let me quickly go and buy some of them so that they can help me fucck the natural demonic mosquitoes in my house and bring harmless offsprings which I will in turn sell for money to make ends meet in this Tpain's wicked tenure.

Here we go again messing around with things...

Later on down the line, they may discover that these genetically modified mosquitoes become perfect vectors for waterborne diseases... by then it may be too late... we may have already created a pandemic, I dunno it just sounds very familiar.

This is dangerous! Mosquito larvae have their own purpose in the ecosystem. They are food to some aquatic animals, which in turn become food to even larger aquatic animals, till it gets to humans.

What happens if they transmit something worse than malaria? I mean, the current mosquitoes can't transmit HIV virus. What if this new ones can transmit HIV?

Also, this invention will cause an extinction of mosquitoes, as the offsprings don't get to adult age.

Besides, we know the current mosquitoes transmit malaria, filariasis, etc. What if this new one transmits something else that might be difficult or impossible to treat? What if they become more effective as fomites for pathogens and parasites?

What if the new ones are more easily prone to mutation? What would we do if we don't know how to fight this new threats (mosquitoes attack, new disease attack, etc) if they come?

The immigration and relevant security outfits should be on the watch for the smuggling of these mosquitoes into Nigeria.
Let the researchers keep the harmless mosquitoes to themselves.
At least we know that the ones biting us will give us malaria and we'll treat it.
Who knows what dangerous disease they'll end up spreading with this deception of GMM.

We beg them to please not send them to. Africa for testing

Because, who send them work now? Before they develop another epidemic they cannot control

I don't understand.

Why would anyone want to genetically modify mosquitoes instead of eradication?

I heard Bill Gates has a huge laboratory in Colombia that does this.

What are the benefits?

Proper innovation, yet someone is being pessimistic. How many children die of malaria each day in Africa? The white man innovates, black man go dey criticize and complain.

If they can't suck. Blood, scientists should explain how they will reproduce

So, what is their economic importance?
If the thing is not socking blood anymore, how will Nigerians know that their environment is dirty for them to know that Tinubu is not performing?

Bill Gates Monsanto Group unleashed GMO mosquitoes into the wild in Brazil under the pretext that the GMO mosquitoes carried a sterilisation gene that will help halt the population of mosquitoes in the wild.

After releasing the mosquitoes, Zika virus infections that were very rare in Brazil and limited to the thick jungles of the Amazon exploded .

Pregnant women who were infected with the virus either had miscarriages or gave birth to babies with severe congenital disorders that saw to their babies severely mentally and physically malformed.

Why in God's name will someone want to genetically modify mosquitoes ?

This is how they tried to kill bees, and then cows and now our crops are like Netflix subscription. You only buy their patented seeds and if by mistake, you use your own seeds that God gave us freely, they will sue you to court because it was not 'registered'.

People think Africans are not progressing, I disagree. Africans, like indigenous people in the world love nature. They respect nature and they believe that respect to the supernatural is to not tamper with nature. That's not foolishness, that's wisdom. Today, children are having cancer and we are now seeing that it is the evil food they eat that can cause it. Can you call that advancement? It is because the intention of the scientists were not pure to begin with, they were soulless, only for profit. Today, we have more kids with one disorder or the other, some of them caused by modification and dangerous chemicals consumed by both parents.

Some of our politicians have collected egunje but let me ask you to do one thing, ask a primary school student to tell you which is better between organic and GMO. Tell them to give you the advantagea and disadvantages. I hate people who do not let us question the science. There is so much corruption in health, pharmacy and science today. Money corrupts. God's grant design was never a mistake.
