What If We Killed Every Mosquito On Earth?

Then there will be a lot of hungry birds

Random bird eats new modified mosquito: Hmm, tastes like Wolbachia!

Then I would be happy

It’s not possible to eradicate mosquitoes. There is literally trillions of them. Also that would cause some serious ecological problems, as mosquitoes are a major food source. We can however modify mosquitoes to prevent them from carrying life threatening diseases, or even all diseases. These modified mosquitoes, already exist in labs, but it’s the question of ‘do we do it?’ I’d argue yes.

We should Abolish mosquitoes

As an Indonesian, i remember back then mid-late 2000’s when i was on school many friends of mine absent because of dengue fever. Idk how valid my statement, but right now i barely heard people got sick because of it.

Not only most dangerous for humans but also for all kinds of animals

I got Malaria this summer, I killed the mosquito that infected me with it, that’s one down, 150+ Trillion (potentially quadrillions) to go.

Was watching a nature documentary years ago that said if every housefly lived out its entire normal lifespan (about 30 days) and all of their offspring lived their normal lifespans, without getting eaten or squashed or otherwise die prematurely, the resulting mass of flies after just 1 year would be a ball of flies the size of the Earth.
