I think that’s plausible, but you seem to have missed the point.
OP asked whether anyone was considering killing all mosquitos? Myself and others replied no, just this one species.
It’s indeed possible that there would be local ill effects, possibly even on other mosquitos. But I don’t see how it would affect mosquitos outside Aedes Aegypti’s habitat.
Also, the species is invasive outside of Africa. This increases the odds it could be safely eliminated in those areas.
I still agree there’s the possibility of great impacts. But I don’t think it could affect “all mosquitos”.
