Release these mutant bugs in the wild, the thinking goes, and they will occupy the same ecological niche as wild mosquitoes, competing for food and, with any luck, eventually displacing them...
...guarantee that new bugs carrying it would have any evolutionary advantage over the old ones. Besides, parasite-host relationships are notoriously protean; as soon as resistance genes appear, the parasites develop counter-resistance. And there's always the possibility that the experiment could backfire, creating swarms of mutant mosquitoes that are even worse than the ones we have...
