    Killing Anopheles is easy and smart, because no more malaria, and there are many other options to fill the niche.

    Killing Anopheles while not also wiping out all those other insects is really really really hard

        There are some 30 species of mosquitos that can transmit Malaria. There are about 3470 species of mosquitoes that don’t.

        So, if you get rid of those 30, some of the other will probably be a decent food source.
