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

In mosquitoes like Aedes aegypti and Anopheles ... While these mated females produce no offspring or only male offspring, they continue to blood-feed and spread disease until they die naturally ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

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.
