"sterile" is an over simplification, with something called gene drive, you can actually introduce sterility into the gene pool in such a way that spreads through the entire population driving it to extinction. Crazy.

I don't see how that could work. Clearly some mosquitoes are going to be resistant to the modification and will survive.

I could explain it but not as well as if you just search for crispr gene drive.
