"Malaria-proof mosquito engineered"
Which lead me to wonder why there is no malaria in Hawaii, at least not that I've heard about or can find any reference to. I thought maybe it had to do with lack of standing water, but avian malaria seems to have taken a hold. With a lot of traffic between here and Asia, wouldn't people malaria be expected to show up more often?
