To fill the gap that his control technique may create, he is attempting to produce a mosquito strain that will not transmit filariasis-and hopes eventually to develop a breed that simply will not bite humans...
Cluttering rooftops, bristling from satellites and planes, protruding from walkie-talkies and TV sets, antennas are both a symbol and a necessity of the communications age.
