Why dont we seriously fight back against dangerous mosquito species?

824 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?

The problem is everything else it takes out. Then it is in the water. Law of unintended consequences. Mother Nature fixes most things if we let her. Purple Martins are an example of a natural solution.
