Female mosquitoes spread diseases when they bite humans to obtain blood. It is only the females that do the biting. Research is being done
to alter the DNA of the male mosquitoes. The altered males could
then mate with the normal female mosquitoes. All of the resulting
offspring would have wing defects that prevent them from flying.
The method used to alter the male mosquitoes is an example of an
