        @calestous @Slate Mosquitoes have their part to play in the ecosystem. Getting rid of them would upset the ecological balance of nature.

        @calestous @Slate I disagree, because wiping out species can have major effects on ecology system, and can in return threaten other species

        @calestous @Slate It is specific species that are dangerous. Also urbanisation and its attendant woes are making this situation bad.

        Remember how Ebola traversed like 1,000 miles Congo to Sierra Leone. Ebola got good pilots. Yeah I buy the Bat-mobile explanation.

        @calestous @Slate too broad. Don't think all mosquitoes transmit diseases. Should focus on targeting those that are a threat to human health
