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 ...

Male mosquitoes are being genetically modified to produce spider and sea anemone venom. These venoms are then transferred to female mosquitoes during mating, leading to a reduction in their lifespan.

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.

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 ...

How fruit flies mate may hold a key to limiting the spread of diseases by mosquitoes.

I cannot say that I am a huge fan of cold weather, but if there is one positive, it is that there are no mosquitoes.

What if the solution to combat disease-carrying mosquitoes lies in their own reproduction? Australian researchers have developed a technique using genetically modified males to reduce female ...

The "toxic male technique" involves breeding mosquitoes with venomous proteins in their semen, which kill females after mating. It is to be noted that only female mosquitoes bite and drink blood ...
