Well as the article mentioned they haven't gotten to the gene drive part yet, they were testing a mosquito that would masculinize female mosquitos and would only be passed down through regular Mendelian inheritance.
aha, yes I am guilty I only read the first half of the article. That makes a lot of sense.
