Africa has been seeing outbreaks of malaria in places where it had been firmly in decline. The culprit is a highly invasive mosquito which thrives in urban areas, is resistant to many pesticides, and bites people during the day rather than at night, which is the norm. Now, some of those countries are fighting back - and doing so by releasing millions of controversial genetically modified mosquitoes. Are they right, or is this a huge mistake? And what else is happening in the ongoing fight against the disease that has resisted our best attempts for the last few decades? • REFERENCES • Invasive mosquitoes could unravel malaria progress in Africa, AP • https://apnews.com/article/science-he... • The world's newest weapon against malaria?
