Will GM Mosquitoes help in the battle against Malaria?

Could genetically modified mosquitoes stop the spread of malaria?

Could cases of malaria be reduced by using genetic engineering to spread resistance to the malaria parasite through wild mosquito populations? The new mathematical Lie group E8 has 248 dimensions. A new type of chemical reaction that takes place under mechanical stress has many practical uses. The microbial mats in the pools of the Chihuahuan desert, Mexico. The tiny plants that turn out to be cousins of water lilies, not grasses. Plus, a dinosaur that burrowed underground in Montana, and the Cosmophone that plays music from outer space.
