Why dont we seriously fight back against dangerous mosquito species?

820 viewsBiologyOther

Considering all the damage we do to eco systems and how little concern many governments have for the environment how come we are so concerned about potential consequences of fighting mosquitoes with genetically modified bacteria and similiar strategies?

Only a few species are dangerous to humans and none of them are keystone species in their ecosystems so why not just erradicate them?

Mosquitoes are actually highly beneficial. Only the females feed on blood and they only do so when they are about to lay eggs. The males and the rest of the time the females feed on various nectares and are excellent pollinators
