Curing Mosquitoes

I've argued elsewhere for alternative thinking in offering medical care, at one point suggesting that instead of curing humans of malaria, cure mosquitoes, since malaria is something they carry.

Apparently researchers are close to doing just that with another disease carried by mosquitoes, dengue fever. For the poor mosquito, I am afraid, the cure is worse than the disease.
