Mosquito net from phifer
If scientists have their way, soon controlling mosquitoes that transmit diseases like Zika, dengue and chikungunya through a pioneering method using the nuclear-based sterile insect technique (SIT) would be possible
. The SIT is a type of "birth control" wherein wild female insects of the pest population do not reproduce when they are inseminated by radiation-sterilised male mosquitoes which are released in the area. It's a method of area-wide pest control to reduce reproduction in a field population of the same species
