...eleven, only three are rated as having a real chance of winning: Chief of State Nguyen Van Thieu, whose vice-presidential running mate is Premier Nguyen Cao Ky; former Premier Tran Van Huong; National Assembly Speaker Phan Khac Suu. The Thieu-Ky ticket is still strongly favored because both men are well known, and they have army backing. Tran Van Huong is considered the leading civilian candidate.

Even if the less virile Okpo males later had a chance to mate with these females, Laven explains, the female would produce no offspring: although the female mosquito can lay three or four sets of eggs during her two-week lifetime, she draws only on the first sperm she receives to fertilize all her eggs. Thus, after only a few generations of vigorous activity by the males from Fresno, there were no female mosquitoes left in Okpo that could lay fertile eggs. By May, Okpo was mosquito free...
