Abstract
Discoveries of the scientific world have made our life better. Commencing genetically modified mosquitoes will help us avoid mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria. Mosquitoes cause more human suffering than any other organisms as they carry dreadful diseases like malaria, West Nile virus, yellow fever, dengue and over a million people die worldwide from mosquito-borne diseases every year. They are debilitating and deadly in tropics and subtropical areas. The malarial parasite in particular has started to develop resistance to currently available drugs. Even insecticide spraying is now a challenge in many mosquito species like Aedes egypti which is a vector for viruses such as chikungunya, dengue, zika. These transgenic mosquitoes will be released to interact with wild-type populations and through interspecific mating, the mutated gene will be transferred which will impede the plasmodium evolution with its species.
