QUICK BITES:
Every year there are 10 million people with mortality like malaria.
'Mutants' will mosquitoes work for malaria
These mosquitoes will finish the other mosquitoes.
What impact will be on these new mosquito ecosystems?
Due to diseases caused by mosquito bites such as dengue, malaria ... etc. many people are involved in the cheeks of untimely age every year. According to statistics, about one million people are victims of mosquito-borne disease every year. Due to mosquito-borne disease after malaria, Dengue works many years in the lap of death. The bites of mosquitoes have caused so much harm to humans that for many years the scientific world has been engaged in finding solutions to avoid these blood-sucking pests.
Scientist created 'mutants' mosquito
Recently, scientists have created a revised modified mosquito of insects spreading these diseases. Scientists want to leave some of these prepared modifyte mosquitoes in the Florida Keys area for testing. These mosquitoes have been named by the scientists 'mutants' mosquito. Scientists plan that they will eliminate mutants through mosquito mosquitoes so that malaria will end forever.
Second question also needed
If this discovery of scientists is successful then this will be a huge achievement for the science world. But after that the second question arises. The second question is, if mutant mosquitoes were replaced by common mosquitoes, then what would be the effect on eco-systems? Which new mosquitoes will spread new diseases? Who will tell who will benefit from whom?
This mosquito designed by gene changes
These mutant mosquitoes have been prepared by mutating genes in common mosquitoes. This technique has been called the CRISPR-Cas9 technology, but it is also revolutionary. This is a method of cut-paste of molecules that gives scientists the convenience of removing and adding the DNA segment that you want. California scientists have made some such changes in the genes of these mosquitoes that these mosquitoes will eliminate themselves instead of spreading their own disease. Scientists are sure that these mosquitoes will eliminate malaria forever in just one summer.
But if the experiment is inverted?
Many people are apprehensive about this experiment. These experiments are being made to make some such changes in the genes of mosquito mosquitoes, so that their next generation will not survive in the situation ahead of Larvaa. In such a way, people have a question that if such a big haul came in some females during the experiment? What happens when a Modified female will cut someone? No one has ever answered
