I am increasingly interested in the idea that out of the nearly 3500 known mosquito species, the 2-4 that transmit human diseases, can and should be completely wiped out. Species sanitation if you like. I see this as a reasonable goal of serious medical entomologists, and one that would bring tremendous public health value. Top on this list in my opinion should be: Aedes aegypti, Anopheles funestus and Anopheles gambiae. I doubt anyone would disagree...

And the work that my colleagues do at @ifakara and @UofGlasgow @UofGSBOHVM and at the Mosquito City in particular is a great step towards this finality:
