I think this is a great discovery since it will target only mosquitoes and not other species that are more beneficial, like bees. It is a fact that bees and other favorable bugs are dying, and non-specific pesticides are only contributing to this problem.vivivalenciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14334777159005806009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360356351594869925.post-56938847193503242502019-05-03T15:33:16.129-04:002019-05-03T15:33:16.129-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.vivivalenciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14334777159005806009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360356351594869925.post-5721476648098276072019-05-03T00:11:01.447-04:002019-05-03T00:11:01.447-04:00I agree with Matthew, perhaps it could be possible...I agree with Matthew, perhaps it could be possible to get rid of only mosquitoes carrying certain illnesses.

Preventing the spread of diseases is fantastic but not every mosquito is a carrier so further research would be interesting to see if someone could find a pesticide or treatment that targets only a certain disease carrying mosquito.

Just like any other living thing, when it becomes extinct it disrupts the food web. I do like the idea of at least getting rid of the mosquitoes carrying diseases or at least lessen the amount that are. More research does sound necessary but it would be nice to have pesticides that just target disease carrying mosquitoes and not all vegetation.
