If they can't suck. Blood, scientists should explain how they will reproduce
This are question we must ask, because Africa will be the testing ground and I thought they said a malaria vaccine was ready

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.
1. They will still need blood for procreation

2. 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?


NOT ALL INNOVATIONS ARE WORTH BEING INNOVATED!

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.

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

Also, 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 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?
Malaria is a parasitic disease that kills around 800,000 people a year, making it the second leading cause of death in the world, after tuberculosis. It's spread by mosquitoes and affects one in 10 people globally.

U prefer such killer parasite to b left alone because of fear of going into extinction and one useless ecosystem. Lol.

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.
Just because you treats malaria and it goes away doesn’t mean other treats it and it goes away.
You wouldn’t be making comment like this if you know how many hundreds of people dies from malaria every day in Africa.

That u can treat urself of malaria doesn't mean everyone can. People wit no access to health facilities in the remote areas are dying like chickens from malaria.

At least there's a treatment for malaria.
Would you prefer they smuggle a strange disease into Africa in the name of mosquito whose proboscis can not penetrate human skin?
You probably don't have an idea what these "researchers" do in the name of "testing" some stupid science.
We don't need GMM. What we need is improved standard of living that would bring about a cleaner environment and access to quality healthcare.
Our leaders need to wake up and see through the hypocrisy of the west in the name of aids to Africa.

Very funny; you want to replace mosquito with mosquito. I only ask that the bad mosquito we know is be left alone. Because the good "non-blood-sucking" mosquitoes we don't know might metamorphose into a blood-sucking one, hence, work done equals to zero.

2. The new ones might be capable of transmitting viruses like HIV, hepatitis, etc, which the current mosquitoes cannot transmit.

By that time, the 800,000 people that die per year (who could have been treated with antimalarials) could become 10,000,000 per year, as the diseases being transmitted is more expensive to treat, or outrightly impossible to treat.

AntiZikist:
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 ?
Once the resultant virus is prevalent globally, the source (GM company) starts rolling out vaccines etc and cash out $billions from innocent victims all over the world.

They are criminals and should be stopped. No man modifies nature without a side effect.

What's essence for GM mosquitoes? I don't understand.

Is it for them to kill regular mosquitoes?

God designed our purposes according to division of labor.

This same west u detest, and this research u call stupid science are the ones that created the anti malaria that ur boasting of 2day.

My take. If this new mosquitoes can help us rid of the deadly mosquitoes around,then I'm in full support. Peoples are dying from malaria daily. Do ur research and u will b shocked.

Btw, the west doesn't need this kind of research if they want to wipe the Africans out. If them wan kill us na their lab them go dey send killer diseases enta Africa. So lets drop this west propaganda

Mosquitoes generally don't support the food chain bro, to prove that point, the males are poor pollinators compared to bees(males suck nectar from flowers, not blood like the females)
