World Without Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are known to have been on Earth for more than a hundred years and in that long period of coevolving with different species they cease to be recognized as pests and disease spreading organisms that kills nearly one million people each year. This disadvantage to our community has led to the consideration of wiping them off the surface of the Earth. Primarily, this idea would be beneficial to humans since not only the nuisance but also the spread of a number of pathogenic diseases would stop. However, while the study attempts to accentuate the benefit of eradicating them it fails to elaborate its main problem and that is on how to actually get rid of the organism. This has become the study’s prior limiting factor for the reason that existing methods for killing mosquitoes have not yet been fully developed by scientists. All the more now since this organism manages to still exist and become resistant to the less toxic materials being used on them. Unfortunately the supposedly more effective yet at the same time more toxic chemical would be dangerous to man’s health which should not be taken lightly by all means. The idea of eradicating mosquitoes becomes concerned with the concept of sustainability with regard to its economic and social sector. This involves the economy since funding is given to health organizations most especially to countries with high malaria burden. While in the concept of social, since the welfare of the human beings is primary given importance the obvious benefit is that more lives will be saved and will no longer be infected by the diseases. However, the downside to this issue is that it would add to the increase in human population. Admittedly, the death and infection of humans for many years may be tragic but in the obvious sense it is nature’s way of regulating its population. The research paper wants to point out that eradicating mosquitoes would not have serious consequences for ecosystems. Some scientists think that the
