The deadliest animal in the world kills more people every year than every other animal combined and is smaller than a staple. Mosquitoes transmit parasitic and viral diseases that make millions of people sick worldwide every year, and global warming is causing their range to creep further from the tropics, including into the United States. One species, Aedes aegypti, is responsible for the transmission of Dengue virus, Yellow Fever virus, Chikungunya virus and Zika virus; we have almost no therapeutics or vaccines for these diseases. Common approaches to controlling the mosquito population are difficult to enact at scale, and mosquitoes are developing resistance to the most commonly used insecticides. The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), or releasing sterile insects to drive the population down, has been done successfully at scale to eliminate some invasive insect species, however it has never worked on mosquitoes.
