~ BILL GATES IS ROFL: Malaysia Unleashes 6,000 Genetically-Modified Mosquitoes Into Wild...!! ~

~ From the article:

Malaysian officials recently set loose thousands of "Frankenbugs" into the forests of Asia, purportedly to help curb the spread of dengue fever. Scientists programmed the 6,000 genetically-modified (GM) Aedes aegypti male mosquitoes in such a way that when they breed with females, the offspring will die early and thus reduce their overall population.

Only Aedes aegypti female mosquitoes are able to spread dengue fever, according to reports, so officials saw no problem with allowing the modified males to be released in an attempt to help reduce the mosquitoes' overall population. But Malaysian environmentalist groups and others expressed concern about the long-term effects of releasing such creatures into the wild.

These pest control measures can work:




“In the 1930s American entomologists Raymond Bushland and Edward Knipling started researching ways that they could reduce pest populations without the use of chemicals. Their research was interrupted by World War II, but in the 1950s they renewed their work. This lead to their pioneering the use of sterile insect technology to reduce Screw flies populations in North America. They bred Screw flies and used radiation to sterilize the males. The sterile males would be introduced into the wild population in large numbers outnumbering the fertile, wild Screw flies by at least ten to one.

This sterile insect technique was used successfully with Screw flies in North America, South America, and Africa. In some areas the Screw fly was completely eradicated. This was a major breakthrough because it provided pest control without the use of chemical pesticides that might harm people or the environment. This technology has also been used on the Tsetse fly that causes sleeping sickness in parts of Africa, and to control the Mediterranean fruit fly, which can be a pest of citrus crops.”

seems to have gone from testing on the caymans, began there as an isolated island test. now being propagated around the planet. while i understand the theory behind the project, one can't help but wonder what evolution, or exposure to chemicals spread throughout the environment may do to these wonderbugs....

~ I'm all for the 'deletion' of diseases such as Malaria (and YES, Ms. Sibelius, even your little copies in the lab!!) but there MUST be other ways than DDT (which kills everything else) and TRUSTING the gene-police... Better living through chemistry? Better living through genetic manipulation?

~ Again, there has to be another way. Bats eat their weight in bugs each day... DDT does a job on them (Ramones). Kill the bats, frogs, birds, etc., through chemicals, and the bugs flourish, right?

So it kills the dengue fever but then after some years of the mosquito, living in the wild and getting infected itself with mosquito viruses a new strain is formed that harms humans again. And this time when we get bitten, it is us who have their offspring die young...
