What Happens When Mosquito Extinct

What Happens When Mosquito Extinct | New 

Mosquitoes, being this one is probably one of the most hated human creatures of the earth, called also disturbing and also spread the disease. but of the many positive effects of this mosquito apparently a big thing could happen if mosquitoes eradicated from the face of the earth.


Of the more than 3,500 species of mosquitoes in the world, there are really only hundreds of species that infect humans. However, it can not be denied, mosquitoes become one of the main enemies, because transmit deadly diseases.
Various efforts ever undertaken by humans to eliminate mosquitoes, especially certain types that transmit the disease. Most of it is still limited research in the laboratory, but the outlook is promising.
One of them was made by a team from the University of Oxford. Genetic engineering is a team that has created a male mosquitoes if married female mosquitoes, the mosquitoes will produce wingless.
Although able to bite, the mutant mosquitoes can not fly, because it does not have wings. Because female mosquitoes have to fly to be able to drink the blood, eventually mosquitoes can not breed, and then become extinct.
With the same technology, a team of University of Arizona also never produced anophales mosquitoes resistant malaria virus. Although not intended to exterminate mosquitoes, it also aims to eliminate malaria.
Had mutant mosquitoes that could be mass produced and released into the nature and causes of extinction, such as the impact of what would happen?

Quoted from Nature, the greatest impact of the extinction of mosquitoes will occur in tundra habitat (ice field), the north pole. In a place that's home to the biggest and Impiger Aedes mosquito species Aedes Nigripes, migratory birds will be reduced by 50 percent, due to the reduced one of the favorite food of the bird.
Migrating animals that others will also be affected, among other similar caribou or reindeer. Thousands of caribou that were previously avoiding mosquito bites will invade the tundra region, followed by the wolves who are the main predators of the caribou.
Species of mosquito-eating fish, Gambusia affinis also endangered, if the mosquitoes are gone. Extinction of the fish is a little more course will also have an impact on the food chain that occurs in freshwater.
Moreover, larvae or mosquito larvae also play a role in the decomposition of organic waste. While in a puddle of water, the larvae get nutrients to grow from the remains of rotting plants.
However, many of the judge, the impact it had on the ecosystem, comparable to the death rate in humans from mosquito bites. Malaria, for example, recorded swallow 247 million people around the world each year.
Moreover, experts believe, the various types of insectivores (insect eaters) will not be too difficult to adapt to switch prey on other insects if it were no mosquitos. As for the decomposition of organic waste, the role of mosquito larvae is not indispensable because there are many other types of decomposers.
