GENETICALLY engineered "toxic male" mosquitoes could help kill off disease-spreading females. Scientists say the gene-hacked male insects can cull female numbers by mating with venomous semen.

Researchers have developed genetically modified fungi that can kill malaria-transmitting mosquitoes through sexual ...

Instead of creating new types of pesticides or machines to eliminate the abundance of disease-carrying mosquitoes, a group of researchers from Australia have engineered 'Toxic Male' mosquitoes to ...

What if the solution to combat disease-carrying mosquitoes lies in their own reproduction? Australian researchers have ...

The method involves using low-dose X-rays to render male mosquitoes unable to reproduce. Male mosquitoes don't bite and won’t have contact with people or spread disease.

A study on fruit flies completed by researchers with Macquarie University suggests that genetic modification of male mosquitoes could help minimise the spread of illnesses linked with the insects.

Australian researchers have developed a method to genetically modify male mosquitoes to produce venom proteins, which are transferred to females during mating, shortening their lifespan and ...

Diptera.ai believes that the key to culling disease-carrying mosquito populations is by unleashing carefully sorted, ...

In mosquitoes like Aedes aegypti and Anopheles ... While these mated females produce no offspring or only male offspring, they continue to blood-feed and spread disease until they die naturally ...
