The ultimate exterminator

Article Abstract:

Imperial College London's Austin Burt is working on a way to eliminate an entire species of disease-carrying insects. He will test the concept, which uses a genetically engineered "selfish" gene, on a lab-bound group of fruit flies. If it works, he will focus on the Anopheles gambiae species of mosquitoes which carry the malaria parasite. The article discusses the science behind the plan and criticism of it.
