Mosquitoes Without Sperm May Stop Malaria
Researchers at London's Imperial College said, they found that the female mosquito mating with a male mosquitoes that have altered genes that do not remove sperm produce infertile eggs that do not produce offspring. So mosquitoes will not lay eggs and produce offspring.
The scientists said the female mosquitoes mate only once in their lives and can not distinguish between males who can not produce sperm and the male that produces sperm.
So if the female mosquito has been mating with male mosquitoes that can not produce sperm then it will not mate again with the male mosquitoes that produce sperm. So the descendants of mosquitoes over time will be disconnected.

They say the gene has been modified mosquitoes could be the key to stopping malaria - a disease spread by mosquitoes which killed 800 thousand people a year, mainly in Africa. And many are also attacking peoples in Indonesia.
