Genetically Altered Mosquitoes?

Aiming to curb dengue fever, scientists breeding genetically altered mosquitoes.
The AP (2/23, Press) reports that a research team "led by Luke Alphey of the University of Oxford in England" is "studying ways to reduce the spread of dengue fever" using "genetic engineering that results in wingless female mosquitoes." In a report published "in Tuesday's edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences," researchers suggest that if female mosquitoes -- who "do the biting" -- are not able to fly, "they can't zoom in on their victims" and "would be expected to die quickly on the ground."
