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?
In: Biology
1. We, as a humanity, do try to fight back. Many scientists work on it right now.
2. Most of the mosquito problems concern very poor environments and they don’t have enough money to bring the big guns.
3. You don’t know how much you would affect the whole nature if you released genetically modified anything at this scale.
