Regarding understanding this as a good or bad effect, I think this is still an open question and further research is needed. My take away is that the rush to eradicating mosquitoes may have unintended consequences as we don't fully understand how symbiotic they are in the development of the human immune system.
- iLemming 5y agoRight. Our war for the survival of species is not with mosquitos but with the viruses they can carry. If only we could make them incapable of carrying. But then, viruses probably find other, even more disgusting ways into our bodies. "If there's one thing the history of evolution has taught us, it's that life will not be contained... life will find a way". On the other hand, human progress moves way faster than evolution [eat that Darwin!]. That's amazing, but at the same time absolutely horrifying.
