Mating Season: The best time of year

Scientists from Cornell college have discovered that Aedes Aegypti Mostquitos can change their vibrations to mate. These mostquitos are also the ones that can give you yellow fever or dengue fever. Many scientists are hoping that with this information they can control mosquito reproduction. Looking at mating signals can give us a way to see how sterile mosquitos do with ladies. Aquote from Ronald R. Hoy shows us his thoughts about mosquito reproduction. "We don't want to be releasing duds out there, we want to be releasing sterile studs." Did you know that female mosquitos normally mate once? With this information if a sterile mosquito mates with a female there will be no offspring. I honestly think that these scientists are trying to kill the mosquitosor make them extinted. That is just plain mean even though they are annoying.http://www.SFgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2009/01/08/national/a110006S01.DTL
