Genetically Engineered Malaria-Resistant Mosquito

David_Bloom writes "According to this Yahoo! News article, a team of German and American genenetic engineering experts have successfully created a malaria-resistant mosquito. Sounds good, but the scientists are still unsure about how to actually apply this to the world's large mosquito population."

Interesting possibilities

Maybe they can further enhance the mosquitoes to produce an opiate-like substance that gets injected into the bloodstream of its victims. I'm not sure of the *practical* uses of such a mosquito, but man, it sure would be fun in the summer time near the swamp!

Ooops
