Malaria is n’t a pretty disease , and it ’s one that ’s difficult to control because it ’s spread wide by mosquito . Researchers may have come up with a way to help stop its spreading , however , using limited genetically modified mosquito that are malaria - resistant and therefore better equipped to survive .
By making bugs that are both ineffectual to carry the computer virus as well as stronger than their counterparts , the investigator hope to have their disease - fighting insects take over in insect populations , cut out a huge way that malaria is propagate . Will it puzzle out the way they planned , or in a few years will they involve to make even stronger , Bluejay - sized mosquitoes to combat these malaria - resistant versions ? I guess time will distinguish .
