Instead of creating new types of pesticides or machines to eliminate the abundance of disease-carrying mosquitoes, a group of researchers from Australia have engineered 'Toxic Male' mosquitoes to ...

Genetically engineered mosquitoes with toxic semen could be a new weapon against tropical disease, Australian scientists said after trialing the novel pest control method. The "toxic male ...

It's called the 'Toxic Male Technique (TMT),' and it involves engineering male mosquitoes to produce venom proteins in their semen with the goal of killing their female counterparts – which do ...

A study on fruit flies completed by researchers with Macquarie University suggests that genetic modification of male mosquitoes could help minimise the spread of illnesses linked with the insects.

Male insects carrying venom proteins transferred these to disease ... On a still night, as the air is thick with silence, the sharp, whining buzz of a mosquito shatters the calm. These blood-sucking ...

The method involves using low-dose X-rays to render male mosquitoes unable to reproduce. Male mosquitoes don't bite and won’t have contact with people or spread disease.

Australian researchers have developed a method to genetically modify male mosquitoes to produce venom proteins, which are transferred to females during mating, shortening their lifespan and ...

How fruit flies mate may hold a key to limiting the spread of diseases by mosquitoes.

I cannot say that I am a huge fan of cold weather, but if there is one positive, it is that there are no mosquitoes.

In the spring, CMCD plans to release approximately 650,000 sterile male mosquitoes across Golden Gate City. "It's important to note that male mosquitoes do not bite and cannot spread disease.
