Washington Post Examines History, Future Of Mosquito Control Efforts

Tuesday, August 16, 2011

The Washington Post looks at the history and future of disease-carrying mosquitoes, "the most deadly non-human animal on the planet." The newspaper describes several mosquito-control methods, and poses the question, "If scientists could find a way to wipe out all mosquitoes ? recent studies have shown that it may be possible to chemically sterilize males and dupe the females into mating with them ? would that be a good idea?" (Palmer, 8/15).
