Why not use traps or if you really want to play with nature, increase the populations of natural predators - like dragonflies. Oh right, that can't be patented.

Why not use traps or if you really want to play with nature, increase the populations of natural predators - like dragonflies. Oh right, that can't be patented. On the other hand I'm quite curious to see how this turns out! It seems like the first mosquito that is able to produce offspring that are immune to the bacterium, either through adaptation or mutation, is something that should be be rapidly selected for. Tiger mosquitoes can lay ~300 eggs so any favorable mutation should be able to rapidly propagate.
