| #5 DDT won't work. They already die off naturally by producing sterile offspring. There is a direct correlation between non-benign Zika (referred to as the Brazil strain) outbreaks and GE Mosquitos. The goal is mosquito as vector. Think how incredibly powerful that could be with modern genetics and virology. |

| #3 The article states clinical trial sites in Asia and South America to be set up to combat dengue with a 2009 grant of 55 mil. Oxitec receives their 20 mil grant in 2010. Seems the way to stop dengue and other mosquito born illnesses is attack the mosquito. What safer way to experiment than with a benign virus from the dengue family called Zika. |
