Genetically modified male mosquitoes containing a lethal gene have been developed in order to combat the spread of Dengue fever.

This technique brings hope, as female mosquitoes only mate once during their lifetimes, and in doing so with sterile male mosquitoes, the insect population would decrease.

In 2012, the Corporation announced that it was planning to breed sterile male mosquitoes to bring down the population of female mosquitoes.

Infertile male mosquitoes have been introduced in some areas in order to reduce the breeding rate of relevant mosquito species.

Dr. Crans knows it is really a siren song, because the female mosquito's wings beat at a frequency that drives male mosquitoes wild.

Female and male mosquitoes showed the same response.

In contrast, male mosquitoes are not bloodsuckers; they only drink such sugary fluids as they can find.

The lights attracted male mosquitoes, which mistook the humming of the newly installed transformer for the sound of the female's wings.

The male mosquito lives on the nectar of flowers.

"The rest are nonbiting, male mosquitoes and other harmless night-flying insects."
