More generally, am highly skeptical of this whole genetic modification drive for replacement of undesirable creatures like mosquitos and screw worms and now bacteria. Sure, sounds like a great idea and may work for the advertised benefits, but look who's funding it and how keen they are on developing vectors to human blood and what other tampering may occur that would be undetectable to anyone without millions of dollars of sequencing equipment. It fits in with the biosynthetic technology drive towards transhumanism alongside nanotechnology, worth researching before jumping on the "Homo Deus" bandwagon that paints us as 'hackable animals' whose soul is due to be extinct (quoting the top transhuman posterchild N. Harari). Worth deeply investigating the other side of the story, most clearly outlined by Prof. Anita Baxas, but also see Dr. Edward Group, Dr Ana Mihalchea, Karen Kingston and Dr. David Nixon.
