Cory (at boing boing), you’re so right: “Researchers are creating transgenic, true-breeding mosquitos that are biologically incapable of vectoring malaria, dengue and other pest-borne, millions-slaying illnesses. The trick here is “true-breeding” — if the planned release into the wild goes as planned, the transgenic vampires will mate with their disease-prone cousins and birth non-carrying offspring. I think the next step should be breeding a skeeter whose saliva doesn’t evoke a histamine reaction.” [emphasis added. –FmH]
