But for mosquitoes, it's much more simple. Mating occurs in midair for just a few seconds. All it takes to win over a male is the sound of a female's beating wings. So, scientists were stunned to ...

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 ...

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 ...

Sexual transmission of these fungi during mosquito mating offers a promising way to reach both indoor and outdoor populations. Extended Infectious Period: Male mosquitoes treated with transgenic ...

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.

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.
