A lot of nice places in the world that are a joy to be in until the mosquitoes show up. Do we have to have mosquitoes? Can't the world manage without them?

    We're gonna find out one way or another. They already released genetically modified mosquito into the normal mosquito population several years ago. If everything goes to plan, those specific species of mosquitoes that also happen to bite humans, should completely die out in the next 100-200 generations.

    I have no idea how short a mosquito generation is, but I suspect that means 50-200 years.
