Brett Sutton - the guy who admitted publicly that the measures he implemented in Victoria during COVID were based on a “best guess”. We all suffered terribly because of this guy. And here he goes again - this time teaming up with the super villain Bill Gates...

Im sure it’ll be fine..

Don't worry... if these genetically engineered mosquitoes get out of hand I'm sure the weaponised 5G bats which have been around since 2020 will take care of them for us.

;D ;D ;D

Good thinking, 99!  The female mosquitoes do the biting and sucking and infecting, and the males sit back with a coldie, the mosquitoes die out and disease rates fall - but since EVERY male mosquito is not sitting back with a coldie, the rest will have a ball and the mosquito population, after a glitch, will rise again!!!!

So the idea is that these mosquitoes will 'self-limit' in their breeding... thus reducing the population..... then die and need to be replaced... um... YES?

Going by some of the biological control measures introduced by the CSIRO over the years I'd be a tad worried about this experiment.

Look at the environmental disasters of Cane Toads & Indian Mynah birds to combat the cane beetle - both were failures .... and toads have had a devastating affect right across the country on our native wildlife.

And another Govt agency AQIS that has allowed the introduction of Fire Ants, Crazy Ants, Brown Widow spiders etc and other pests through our ports because of poor inspection standards & procedures.

Then we have the constant threat of plant & livestock diseases being bought in by Asians, SE Asians, Chinese, Pacific Islanders who are constantly bringing in undeclared contaminated plant and animal products through our airports.

CSIRO is just another corrupt Government Department - much like the TGA

Who in the hell does bill gates think he is and why is anyone in Australia listening to him?

Why is Bill Gates wanting to release genetically modified  mosquitoes to "help reduce dengue outbreaks", when the peer-reviewed publish science states;

"Locally acquired cases (of dengue) decreased from a peak of in 2013 of 236, to zero in 2021-22.

Conclusion: Our analysis highlights Australia’s successful control of locally acquired dengue with Wolbachia (which doesn’t use GM mosquitoes)"

academic.oup.com/jtm/article/31…

It looks like the Australian public are being lied to again, creating a scare campaign to help create a money making opportunity for Bill Gates and his cronies with their experimental Frankenstein science.

And Labor, Liberal, Greens & Teals say nothing.

You trump yourself with your own words you silly old girly skirt wanker.

Indian Mynahs were introduced into QLD to control Cane Beetle. That's why they are called Flying Cane Toads.

I don't give a stuff about Melbournes market gardens ... they were no comparison to the sugar industry.

There were govt organisations i.e. Depts of Agriculture since the 1890's so pre-dating the CSIRO  in each colony/state in Australia dealing with such issues regarding agriculture & diseases thereof ..... it was 1st called temporary Advisory Council of Science and Industry in 1916.

In 1920 it became a permanent body. Doing it's own research in 1926.

It ended up as part of the national Govt body of the CSIRO in 1949.

I know you think you're the be all end all know it all

Impact
Indian mynas are now considered one of the world's most invasive species and a threat to Australian native birds and wildlife. They are aggressive, can congregate in large numbers, and displace native wildlife. They can also spread avian diseases, damage crops, and cause health issues in humans.

Time for some rationality to be injected into the debate:

Quote:

Male mosquitoes to be genetically engineered to poison females with semen in Australian research Approach could be used to limit outbreaks of mosquito-borne diseases, such as dengue fever, which results in 390m cases annually worldwide Petra Stock Tue 7 Jan 2025 21.00 AEDT Toxic male mosquitoes will poison females with their semen in a new population control method developed by Australian researchers. The method involves genetically engineering males to produce spider and sea anemone venom proteins, which they inject into females during mating, reducing their lifespan. Macquarie University researchers have been testing the “toxic male technique” in a species of mosquito that spreads dengue fever, Zika and other viruses, after a study using fruit flies was published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Communications. The lead author, Sam Beach, said the species-specific approach could be used to quickly suppress outbreaks of mosquito-borne diseases, such as dengue fever – which results in 390m cases worldwide each year – without having to spray huge amounts of insecticides that can decimate local insects. “Ideally, what we’re trying to achieve is: a male mosquito mates with a female and then she dies immediately,” he said. Injecting a new gene into freshly laid mosquito eggs using tiny glass needles was “a very tedious process”, he added. Only female mosquitoes are blood feeders. They generally mate within 24 to 48 hours of emerging but can live and continue biting for several weeks, which enables the continued spread of disease. The toxic male technique could reduce rates of blood feeding by 40% to 60%, according to the study. While other genetic biocontrol approaches have used males to reduce the viability, blood-feeding or disease transmitting abilities of mosquito offspring, Beach said the new method targeted females directly. “With this approach, we can immediately reduce the size of the female mosquito population and then hopefully get a really rapid reduction in the spread of these vector-borne illnesses.” A University of Melbourne evolutionary biologist, Dr Tom Schmidt, who was not involved in the study, said pesticide resistance was a global problem, prompting scientists to develop other pest management approaches. “Mosquitoes get resistant to insecticides very rapidly, and they can spread resistance,” he said. “They can evolve it, and they can also spread it by getting on boats and planes and spreading it all over the world.” An Australian approach that infected mosquitoes with Wolbachia bacteria dramatically reduced dengue fever transmission in northern Queensland, he said. Genetic approaches could also work, he said, noting that mosquito control wasn’t a one-size-fits all approach. The climate crisis was also causing species of mosquitoes to appear in places where they hadn’t been before. Prof Philip Weinstein, an infectious diseases researcher at the University of Adelaide who was not involved in the study, said there were thousands of species of mosquitoes but only a few carried diseases. Weinstein said an ideal solution would be to control the insects without eradicating them, given that mosquitoes were pollinators and an important food source for fish and bats. “Ecosystem health – things that happen in the environment, including mosquitoes but also water quality, air quality, climate change, biodiversity loss – all impact, either directly or indirectly, human health outcomes,” he said.

Never fear - they're only deadly to genetically modified humans...

It's the female skeeters you have to get rid of .... what's the difference between a mosquito and an ex-wife?  A mosquito stops sucking blood when she's had enough....

Yes but Bwyan doesn't seem to be able to follow that.

Oh and for Freediver - the attempted  use of Mynah Birds & Cane Toads to control insect pests is a "biological control".

The CSIRO are now looking at biological controls to control the biological control (failure) of cane toads.

The CSIRO introduced "myxomatosis" for rabbit control(biological).
