It is highly unlikely that x-ray sterilized male mosquitos would cause a human plague similar to malaria.

That was a sibling comment of the GP (sterilized mosquitos), the article itself is about a genetically engineered disease.

The article has mosquitos "releasing toxic proteins in their semen". Seems like the sterilization is a much better option. "We promise it's not toxic to humans" didn't turn out so well for RoundUp.
