Recently, we have identified a gene (named Yob), which in the malaria mosquito,
Anopheles gambiae, is located on the male-specific Y chromosome and controls the development of an individual into a male.
The research team at Imperial College London crashed captive populations of the malaria vector mosquito
Anopheles gambiae in only 7-11 generations, the university said.
The technique used in this study was designed to target the specific mosquito species
Anopheles gambiae that is responsible for malaria transmission in sub-Saharan Africa.
In experiments with the species
Anopheles gambiae, scientists at Imperial College London tweaked a gene known as doublesex so that more females in each generation could no longer bite or reproduce.

Anopheles gambiae is a major carrier of malaria parasites in sub-Saharan Africa, where 90 percent of annual malaria deaths occur.
Inside an
Anopheles gambiae mosquito, Plasmodium undergoes a series of infection steps before reaching the mosquito's salivary gland, from which it spreads to bitten humans.

And in yet another study, where light traps were baited with carbon dioxide, researchers were able to establish that one of the three mosquitoes that spread malaria - the
anopheles gambiae mosquito - bites their hosts at night.
