- Each year, hundreds of millions of people get sick from diseases like Zika, Dengue Fever, and Yellow Fever that are spread by mosquitoes. Some scientists are investigating the possibility of curbing these mosquito-borne diseases by genetically modifying the mosquitoes, such that they become less able to either reproduce or to carry the disease-causing microbes. Should genetically modified mosquitoes be released into the environment to combat these viruses?arrow_forwardWhy doesn't a long lasting vaccine against common cold exist yet?arrow_forwardThe discovery of HIV virus was a race between two groups of scientists.
