Should we engineer the extinction of the mosquitos that spread Zika, Dengue, Malaria and so on?

In principle, I am in favor of wiping out Aedes aegypti and other mosquito species that transmit diseases to humans. They will be no great ecological loss. In principle, the loss of any species is a loss to the world, but sometimes it is justified.

However, we had better be very careful not to make a mistake that would backfire.

Meanwhile, we are wiping out thousands of other species unintentionally through carelessness and inattention. Let's put an end to that!
