With a Little Genetic Reprogramming, Blood-Sucking Can Be Deadly for Mosquitoes | 80beats | Discover Magazine: "What’s the News: Biochemists at the University of Arizona have found a promising new way to fight disease-carrying mosquitoes. In their research project, published in the journal PNAS, the scientists blocked mosquitoes’ ability to digest blood, making blood-sucking deadly to the winged pests. This technique could someday be used alongside other strategies to battle mosquitoes, like repellents and traps."
