Mosquitoes Genetically Modified To Crash Species That Spreads Malaria (npr.org)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from NPR: For the first time, scientists have demonstrated that a controversial new kind of genetic engineering can rapidly spread a self-destructive genetic modification through a complex species. The scientists used the revolutionary gene-editing tool known as CRISPR to engineer mosquitoes with a "gene drive," which rapidly transmitted a sterilizing mutation through other members of the mosquito's species. After mosquitoes carrying the mutation were released into cages filled with unmodified mosquitoes in a high-security basement laboratory in London, virtually all of the insects were wiped out, according to a report in Nature Biotechnology. The mosquitoes were created in the hopes of using them as a potent new weapon in the long, frustrating fight against malaria. Malaria remains one of the world's deadliest diseases, killing more than 400,000 people every year, mostly children younger than 5 years old. What's encouraging is that the mosquitos reportedly did not appear to further mutate in a way that would diminish the effectiveness of the engineered mutation. "But the researchers stressed that many years of additional research are needed to further test the safety and effectiveness of the approach before anyone attempts to release these mosquitos or any other organisms created this way into the wild," reports NPR.
It worked well with cane toads in Australia.
They even provide entertainment for the locals, swerving their cars all over the road to see how many they can pop.
I am not comfortable with this, and feel that the mosquitos arenâ(TM)t just diesease control, but instead a test to rid the world of what the elites consider undesirables.
>> Why not just introduce another species to eat them.
While I hate mosquitoes, I would suggest caution. Mosquitoes are important in the food chain. If one species of mosquitoes are wiped out, would other insects fill the void? We need to think carefully about the ramifications of this. Of course, reducing the damage and death caused by malaria would be highly beneficial.
...massive amounts of Bolivian Tree Lizards that will rid us of the dastardly mosquito problem.
You know how sometimes you read something kooky and you say to yourself, "wow, this person watches too many SciFi/spy/etc. movies."? (That happens a fair bit here on Slashdot).
This article is evidently a case of "wow, these people do not watch nearly enough SciFi/spy/etc. movies."
Oh well. I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords.
They're playing with things when they don't fully understand the consequences. I get that's how we learn, but you don't get an undo button
with this. You do it wrong and the consequences will be epic.
While we pretty much universally dislike mosquitoes, they do play a part in a larger ecosystem that all we ( as a species ) have managed to do is fuck it up.
Disrupt it and you risk a cascading effect which can have consequences far beyond what we can predict or plan for.
It doesn't take a whole lot of imagination to start applying similar edits to other species you may not like or wish to modify.
( Say . . . . from a weaponization standpoint . . certain pockets of civilization who carry specific genetic markers or traits )
Pick a genetic trait that only your targeted population carries, select a payload and voila.
Just hope the idiots who start down this path realize any natural mutation of their new toy can pretty much end us as a species in a hurry. :|

That is of course something to be very careful about.
Because it is, multiple teams have studied the issue thoroughly and there seems to be broad agreement that eliminating the specific species responsible for most malaria would have very little ecological impact at all. There are plenty of other mosquito species (and other insects) to fill the niche. There are over 3,000 species of mosquito, only three (0.1%) cause most disease.
A key there is something like chemical pesticides wouldn't typically target just the species. Hence the search for a very targetted approach.
There are all sorts of things that munch on mosquito's. If you kill the mosquito's, there will be other species that have issues. Everything from the mosquito eggs to the full grown adult, are eaten by other creatures.
Ten dead mosquito's, per cubic meter, ads up to a lot of biomass.

Climate change is real and habitat destruction is accelerating.
There is nothing you can do, not driving a Prius, not being Vegan, not recycling your socks and underwear, NOTHING, that's better for the environment and the planet than not having children. NOTHING.
If you actually cared even just a little for the environment, reducing human population should be your top #1 priority. And yes, environmental groups used to focus on this. They used to promote population reduction and they used to be anti-immigration. Not just against illegal immigration, ALL immigration. Because more immigration = more people = bad for the environment.
Nowadays though, all the big environment groups all favor increasing population and advocate open-border immigration. And not coincidentally, they all took large sums of cash donation from vested interests and powers that be who profit from more population, more consumption, and more immigration. So yeah, Greenpeace and Sierra Club sold out their principles for cash moolah.
Anyways, saving millions of children from malaria is all well and good, but what are we gonna do when the world population is 10 billion? 15 billion? Those numbers are coming up fast and will be here soon, definitely within the lifetime of a lot of people on this forum. How about saving millions of people from malaria, but then giving them vasectomy and hysterectomy? Also how about closing down borders and restricting immigration so the high growth countries are forced to confront their internal problems and improves things, instead of exporting their problems to better-run countries?
Humans have a history of accepting new technology before all the issues are fully understood.
Scary joke: Maybe those mosquitoes will escape the attempt to eliminate them through genetic modification that occurs naturally. May they will become as large as eagles and need to drink all of the blood of a human every day.
How death was invented by our silent observing overlords.
All other unintended ecological consequences aside, mosquitoes and malaria are the main factor that makes wide areas of Africa effectively uninhabitable. Controlling them will lead to widespread deforestation, massive population growth, and probably result in famine and political upheavals. I'm not passing judgment on whether it should or shouldn't be done, but this is another example of Western technology radically altering developing nations, and I'm afraid the West will get blamed for the consequences again.
Hi! You seem to be one of those antifa we keep hearing about.
How about getting actual information on the person and going to court with facts instead of writing death threats and asking others to murder someone else on your behalf?
Yes it could, because that is genetic targeting. It would not "eliminate" black people but in a few generations that race of humans would cease to exist.
No matter how bad people want this to be genetic, it is not.
If we could target idiots like you, then I agree.
That's why they're aiming at a small subset of mosquitos rather than the entire family.
This.
Responsible use of this technology involves simulation, both in the computer and in microenvironments. It involves careful modelling of the food web. It involves a decision about whether it is okay to commit genocide against a subspecies of mosquito. Most people would say yes, but there's a discussion about do we have a responsibility to keep some of the subspecies alive in a zoo, or at least to sequence the genome entirely, for example.
Irresponsible use of this tech is far more likely. Eventually a grad student will get fed up with mosquitoes and turn this into a project on the side. That may happen before responsible evaluation of the tech happens to a degree that reasonable groups of people would be happy with.

Well, with the Zika virus, we know the effects of failed gene editing. So as long as cooperations or whoever introduces these measures are not owing up to their responsibility on the matter, we shouldn't touch it. Also, it needs to e to test which usually is one of the downfalls of Kapitalismus. See the story of "Klebsiella planticola". We take these powers far to lightly. Humans haven't shown enough responsibility to medle with million year old eco systems yet.

"To accomplish this task, Chinese citizens were mobilized in massive numbers to eradicate the birds by forcing them to fly until they fell from exhaustion. The Chinese people took to the streets clanging their pots and pans or beating drums to terrorize the birds and prevent them from landing. Nests were torn down, eggs were broken, chicks killed, and sparrows shot down from the sky. Experts estimate that hundreds of millions of sparrows were killed as part of the campaign."

http://www.zonaeuropa.com/20061130_1.htm
wasn't there a better suggestion where they modified the mosquitoes to not carry malaria instead of just wiping out all the mosquitoes?
The actual long term effect is population growth reduction. The high birth rates in these countries is due to dependence on children for support and the high mortality rate from things like malaria. Raising health and lowering mortality rates decreases the population growth
Comment removed based on user account deletion
It's not population growth, it's resources consumption. Your entitled western ass shouldn't be blathering about poor people having too many babies when you're using 30 times as much resources as they do.
No distinction or difference from his point that that the sparrow "eradication" campaign consisted of....making loud noises. In either case, it's funny that you're attacking SB here when he's an anacho-capitliast.
So, a few survive? I guess in a generation or two (in mosquito generations), we're back to starting point, with mosquitoes resistant to the mutation.
Yes it is happening in developed countries where the population growth is close to replacement level. also one has to see the effect of birth control (from 1960's) . Even india people have seen that development(education, health care and income) reduce the family size.
Note that this is against certain types of mosquitoes only. If I remember correctly, there are at least 300, and humans are after less than 10 o those.
. . . leaving open a niche for the previously suppressed ebola-spreading mosquito . . .
Interesting how the Zika thing happened at the same time as these experiments. Kill the virus, not the carriers.
Sarcasm? Because cane toads were a spectacular failure - they didn't eat the pets sitting on top the cane, but devoured native species on the ground.
Baby dragonflies feast almost exclusively on baby mosquitoes. If you kill all the mosquitoes you will likely kill all the dragonflies. Adult dragonflies are an apex predator in the insect world and there are likely a lot of bugs that dragonflies eat that we wouldn't want more of.
London seems like a bad place to do experiments like this.
Antarctica would seem like a much better place as there is much less chance of an escape causing havoc.
Sarcasm? Because cane toads were a spectacular failure - they didn't eat the pets sitting on top the cane, but devoured native species on the ground.
Since you're unfamiliar with the ancient Australian concept of bleeding obvious sarcasm, I shall close the cash drawer at this time, cobber.
Calling someone a "hater" only means you can not rationally rebut their argument.
The American House Sparrow next, PLEASE!
The Screwfly Solution has been proven to be quite effective, and doesn't require the introduction of genetically engineered insects into the wild.
I'll see your mosquito eater, and raise you a trillion flying fucks, literally.
Another fucking disaster waiting to happen.
They need to make a distinction between the disease (malaria) and the carriers (mosquitoes). Killing the carrier is not the same as killing the parasite.
How long until the malaria parasite starts using a new carrier?
Are currently no other species that host (however poorly) the parasite?
The only alternative left was to increase the death rate
No one wanted to pick people out of a crowd
And line them up for execution
Neither did they relish the possible consequences of an enraged public
Upon discovering that they were being systematically murdered
A very short but very deadly global war was contemplated
Something else had to be done that would absolve
The decision-makers of guilt
Something that could be blamed upon mother nature
The answer, a synthetic biological agent
An agent that does not naturally exist
For which no natural immunity could have been acquired
The United States population was infected
The vaccine was administered by the World Health Organization
Whatever causes AIDS was in the vaccine
Sarcasm? Because cane toads were a spectacular failure - they didn't eat the pets sitting on top the cane, but devoured native species on the ground.
Well, maybe the real problem was Australians keeping cane beetles as pets.
Since when is the problem that there aren't enough humans in malaria-stricken areas? Is someone trying to engineer bigger and better famines?

It is what humans are good at. That sudden stop at the end.
We got tiger mosquitoes invading New York. I volunteer them for immediate field trials. What's the risk? That we don't kill off an invasive species of disease carrier that bites people even in broad daylight?
Here in Spain and France, we have a problem with the Asian Hornet.
Maybe we could use a tool like this to wipe out. But it's a dangerous move. A inverse transfer (from Europe to China) could wipe the specie in its origin were is in balance with the biosphere and it's probably needed for biosphere balance.
I hope they could invest somekind of trigger that we could turn on or off easily.
Intentionally wipe out an entire species of anything
IIRC, Malaria is only carried by one species of mosquito. And All human diseases are only carried by 3.

Kill off all the mosquitoes, and what happens to the species of animals that eat them? What will they eat? If they don't eat them, will they survive? I'm not just talking about frogs either. Purple Martins, and countless other birds feast on those little critters, as to Praying Mantis, snakes, and other animals. Yes, Malaria is a bad disease, and it was somewhat controlled until the flood of so called refugees from Africa/middle east hit the globe, now it is spreading once again. No, I'm not a eugenics type, but there was a reason the oceans kept some species of humans, apart from another set of humans.

Hey creimy! Why don't you make a video about this story? I am sure it will get more precious views than any other video you have made previously!
Here is the story of creimy the mountain and his royalties!
This story was inspired by cdreimer, the parent poster. The story was written by a visionary on cdreimer birth date.
The story of creimy the mountain explained:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Creimy is a typical mountain who poses for postcards, living with his wife Ethel, a tree, between the cities of Rosamund and Gorman, California. The main features on his mountainous face are two large caves, resembling eyes, and a cliff for a jaw, which moves up and down when he talks, puffing up dust and boulders.
click above link to read more, he even destroyed Edwards Air Force Base just by passing by...
Listen to the audio version here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
"Creimy The Mountain"
includes quotes from Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1 in D major (Edward Elgar), Johnny's Theme (Paul Anka), Off We Go Into The Wild Blue Yonder (Crawford), O Mein Papa (Paul Burkhard), Over The Rainbow (Harburg/Arlen), Star-Spangled Banner (Smith/Key), Suite: Judy Blue Eyes (Stephen Stills)
One, two, three

A regular picturesque
Postcardy mountain
Residing between lovely
Rosamond and Gorman
With his stunning wife ETHELL, A tree! A tree!
CREIMY was a mountain ETHELL was a tree Growing off of his shoulder
CREIMY was a mountain
(CREIMY was a mountain!)
ETHELL was a tree Growing off of his shoulder
(ETHELL was a tree growing off of his shoulder)
(hey, hey hey!)
Creimy had two big
Caves for eyes,
With a cliff for a jaw
That would go up 'n down,
And whenever it did,
He'd puff out some dust,
And hack up a boulder (HACK!) Hack up a boulder (HACK! HACK!)
Hack up a boulder (HACK! HACK! HACK!) Up a boulder
Now, one day, now I believe it was on a Tuesday, a man in a checkered double-knit suit drove up in a large El Dorado Cadillac, leased from BOB SPREEN
("Where the freeways meet in Downey!")
And he laid a HUGE, BULGING ENVELOPE right at the corner of CREIMY THE MOUNTAIN, that was right where his 'foot' was supposed to be.
Now, CREIMY THE MOUNTAIN, he couldn't believe it! All those postcards he'd posed for, for ALL OF THOSE YEARS, and finally, now, AT LAST, his Royalties!
Royalties! Royalties Royalties! Royalty check is in, honey!
Yes, CREIMY THE MOUNTAIN was RICH! Yes, and his eyeball-caves, they widened in amazement, and his jaw (which was a cliff), well it dropped thirty feet!
A bunch of dust puffed out! Rocks and boulders hacked up, (hack! hack!) crushing 'The LINCOLN'!
I gave him the money He acted real funny He hocked up a rock and It TOTALLED my car!
Oh, do you Know any trucks Might be bound for THE VALLEY?
I don't wanna stand here All night in this bar (Dear Lord)
I don't wanna stand here All night in this bar (No shit!)
I don't wanna stand here All night in this bar!
By two o'clock, when the bars are already closed down, CREIMY had broken 'THE BIG NEWS' to ETHELL. And with dust and boulders everywhere, CREIMY, choked with excitement, announced
"ETHELL, we're going on a VACATION!"
Yes, and they WERE going on a vacation! (Oh, and ETHELL, ETHELL, ETHELL, like every little woman, she of course was very excited! She creaked a little bit, and some old birds flew off of her.) CREIMY told ETHELL they were going to Yes! They were going to NEW YORK!
"ETHELL, we're going to New York!"
But first they were gonna stop in LAS VEGAS
It's off to LAS VEGAS to check out the lounges Pull a few handles,
And drink a few beers, (Oh, ETHELL!)
ETHELL, my darling, you know that I love you!
I'm glad we could

Do you have any essperience with roaming numerals?
Chris is currently indisposed and can't reply to your post at the moment.
Granny PottyMouth has just revealed to Chris (see https://slashdot.org/comments....) that most of the views on our YouTube channels were caused by one of her employee using her click-bots.
She says she instructed him to stop immediately and what she says must be true since the views stopped on our channel and we have only 12 views since last week on our latest video "How to Pronounce The New Apple iPhone XR, XS & XS Max (September 2018)".

Natural selection has not yet made us perfect, and has had no chance to adopt to the new technology of birth control. So it has set our priorities slightly askew. We want to live a comfortable life more than we want lots of children, and we can now get sex without the later.
But this is a temporary state of affairs. Some people still have large families. And for some combination of nature and nurture their children tend to have larger families. In a few generations most people will be from those larger families, and Natural Selection will again work its magic.
(Assuming the robots don't get us first.)
Your kiddie script may have worked on YouTube prior to 2014.
Sure creimer. You still don't believe me so just watch your stat on the pedophile video then! I'll stop between 200 and 300 views and as usual you will get some views discarded afterward but the YouTube algorithm isn't able to catch them all.
The script has been working very fine thank you since you created your YouTube channel bragging everywhere about it!
Why have I done this?
To make you brag on Slashdot even more and become even more annoying that you already are! I knew you would spam Slashdot even more because you would believe that spamming Slashdot was truly efficient !
Before that, I even have done the same with your amazon affiliate spam setting the referrer to Slashdot to make you believe spamming Slashdot with affiliate links was efficient!
CROFLOL you big dummy! Now, I hope you will come to realize the truth: Nobody watches your youtube channel except click-bots and people that just want to make fun of yourself like my buddies and myself!
So, you have wasted your time making all those videos you big dummy, just like I was expecting you to do! You have also wasted your time spamming Slashdot while believing it was efficient.

Hey creimer make sure to read this if you want to know how dead your youtube channel really is::

Hahaha creimer! CROFLOL!
After 40-50 views on your stupid pedophile video, here is what youtube tells me now:
Sign in to confirm your age
This video may be inappropriate for some users.
Since I promised you 200 views, the rest will go to your equally stupid iPhone pronunciation video! So check the views going up on that one instead.
Maybe I should keep doing this for all your videos so at least people will have to login to view your videos. That wouldn't be very good for your precious views, would it?

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?

Chris, my team has just updated me with your new contact info. It is nice to hear from you again and to see that you have managed to get a new Slashdot account.
*** Chris, contact me ASAP please. I have AI click bots that don't get detected by youtube algorythm! :) -2 subscribers and 10 views a day for you is sad.. -love granny XX ***
Dear Team Creimer,
I just noticed that the Humpty-Dumpty video has 435+ millions views, that should make you salivate!
I have plenty of ideas to make the views on your own youtube channel skyrocket but you didn't contact me yet. Is it because I am a lady? Ethell says that you are sexist but I hope it isn't true.
Anyway, I will give you a free hint anyway: Dress-up as Humpty in your videos, you shouldn't need that much makeup making this a money saving situation in your own case.
My YouTube channel has 222K subscribers and many videos with hundreds of thousands of views:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Now, with some slight adjustments, I think that together, we could make the view count skyrocket on your very own Team Creimer youtube channel :)
Please feel confident to contact me if you want me to coach you, we aren't living so far away from each other so we could even easily meet.
Love XX,

Thank you for the free data. Now I know what invalid views look like (no OS name and geographic location). I expect the algorithm to remove those in the next 48 hours. Thank you for wasting your time for my benefit.
After searching YouTube"s policies, I have concluded that you're not harming my channel in any way. Carry on.
So now, you just realized and admitted the following:
1) Nobody watches your youtube channel except click-bots and people that just want to make fun of yourself like my buddies and myself!
2) You don't care how fraudulent you revenue streams are and your bragging is based on lies.
The mosquito's in the pacific Northwest are slower bigger and have less reactive bites. Also they don't carry malaria, dengue etc. The egyptii we have down here in the south carry all of those and are so much harder to swat.
refactor the law, its bloated, confusing and unmaintainable.
Don't limit this advancement to mosquitoes carrying malaria, use it on ALL mosquitoes. I am in the process of immigrating to Finland and don't want to deal with the mosquitoes in Spring and Fall. Also, further develop this miracle agent to include flies, hornets, gnats, stinkbugs, silverfish, termites, ants, wasps, and all other pesky insects. Nature can cope with their loss.
1) Nobody watches your youtube channel except click-bots and people that just want to make fun of yourself like my buddies and myself!
If click-bots were inflating my validated views, mobile should be more than 33% of my views. Click-bots use the YouTube mobile API and not a shell script to generate views.
2) You don't care how fraudulent you revenue streams are and your bragging is based on lies.
YouTube is a platform for attracting an audience. As for bragging, you obviously don't know when you're being trolled.
I see a gap in the study. They kept them in a box and sterilized them but did they remember to feed them?
Quite familiar with the concept of sarcasm. The problem is telling the difference between a sarcastic comment and someone who's just that painfully ignorant. Thus the question.
