Instead of creating new types of pesticides or machines to eliminate the abundance of disease-carrying mosquitoes, a group of researchers from Australia have engineered 'Toxic Male' mosquitoes to ...

Male mosquitoes are being genetically modified to produce spider and sea anemone venom. These venoms are then transferred to female mosquitoes during mating, leading to a reduction in their lifespan.

The targeted mosquitos are Aedes aegypti, which spread diseases such as dengue fever, Zika, and chikungunya. The method involves using low-dose X-rays to render male mosquitoes unable to reproduce.

Australian researchers have developed a method to genetically modify male mosquitoes to produce venom proteins, which are transferred to females during mating, shortening their lifespan and ...

A new study by Macquarie University researchers has suggested that the toxic male technique could be used to address the prevalence of mosquito-borne illness. The scientists, which genetically ...

A team of researchers at Macquarie University have developed the Toxic Male Technique (TMT) for insects like mosquitoes. Researchers from Macquarie University have found a way to create toxic male ...

It might sound funny neutering a mosquito, but Collier Mosquito Control District hopes by releasing sterile male Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes, they can reduce the population. Fox 4 Meteorologist ...

The "toxic male technique" involves breeding mosquitoes with venomous proteins in their semen, which kill females after mating. It is to be noted that only female mosquitoes bite and drink blood ...

It's called the 'Toxic Male Technique (TMT),' and it involves engineering male mosquitoes to produce venom proteins in their semen with the goal of killing their female counterparts – which do ...

Genetically engineered mosquitoes with toxic semen could be a new weapon against tropical disease, Australian scientists said after trialling the novel pest control method. The “toxic male ...
