aedis ageypti the hardest one to get rid of due, to thier eggs surviving desiccation better than other mosquitos. the tiger mosquito, very aggressive biter spreads dengue.

I'm not sure if this is intended seriously or not, but eradication of any species or subspecies of any animal comes with a very high risk of potential unintended consequences that can be almost impossible to predict and worse overall than the problem they sought to fix in the first place. Our approach should be focused on methods to decrease the infection rate of West Nile, decrease the rate at which bites happen or improve identification and treatment for West Nile before we jump to something radical like driving an entire subspecies to extinction. Nature is an incredibly complex system that is highly interconnected and humanity is already stressing it as a whole quite a bit at the moment, any one species loss could spark a cascade that could drive an entire biome to the brink without something else to potentially fill that niche. And it would be impossible to know beforehand what might trigger something like that.
