The quote from "expert on mosquito mating" is strange- "Without the ability of males to hear - and acoustically chase - female mosquitoes might become extinct." This seems nonsensical, as the knockout males could never replace all the males in the population. At best the knockout spreading (via carrier females) reduces the rate of reproduction.
