this story was on BBC news today, i guess it sounds like a good idea, but what happens if the mosquitos dont outnumber the ones that are 'infected with malaria', i guess the reasoning is sound, that the malaria mosquitos will die out in favor of these GM ones, but aren't mosquitos able to mutate, so that the malaria virus doesnt affect them? is that not why they have survived all these eons ? in which case this experiment would be useless..
