It has been a know fact that mosquitoes are known to be one of the main causes of the mass spread of disease. There is a health crisis that scientist have approached by creating a gene that minimizes the amount and the aggression of mosquitoes. This gene keeps the males from biting and reaching adulthood . For the elegant approach, there are other factors to think of such as its affect on its predators such as birds and bats. With a slow integration in the environment it gives scientist the ability study its result because the population of mosquitoes have significantly decreased in the areas they were released.
