... eliminate malaria
Annually, 400,000+ people die of malaria. Now, the disease is to be eliminated once and for all by spreading a GM version of the Serratia AS1 bacterium, which prevents malaria parasites from multiplying in mosquitoes. Normally, the bacterium lives in mosquito intestines, but it can also survive in oviducts, etc., from where the bacterium spreads during mating.
