The ‘Male Mosquito’ is aunique subject;
thought-provoking and innovative. The male mosquitoes, which are generally
considered of little or no use to humankind, directly or indirectly, are dealt
with in great details to dig out their practical utility in controlling the
deadly and incapacitating mosquito-borne diseases. In turn, male mosquitoes
have emerged as a highly dependable tool in eliminating their far more
obnoxious counterparts, the female mosquitoes. In fact, a great degree of
biological knowledge about the female mosquitoes originate from the male
mosquitoes only. The evolutionary development of genitalia, retention for long
enough through millions of years their vegetative feeding as well as their
experimental use as a carrier of lethal gene (RIDL) or bio-tool agent (Wolbachia
spp.) are some of the new pieces of knowledge gained via male
mosquitoes. Male mosquitoes are also pharmacologically important as their
saliva contain anesthetic elements which may be exploited in future for man’s
own benefit.
In brief, female mosquito’s own identity is due to
their counterparts, the male mosquitoes which have specific genetalial traits.
Generally, mosquitoes have a 2n=6 chromosome complement, with male mosquitoes
being heterogametic. Thus, males are differing from females in having a
Y-chromosome, in addition to an X chromosome which is common to both sexes
(Females have two XX). Recently identification of male genes in the Y-chromosome
has further opened up a new chapter in questing for novel genetically advanced
vector control mechanisms and processes.
The book, ‘Male Mosquito’, a unique treatment
of its kind ever, is full of novel information which make it an interesting
read, almost a vade mecum for a serious researcher. Reading the book one
will feel growing au fait about the mosquito biology – a subject so
vital to innovate vector control methodologies and technologies. Here, the
author offers his yet another magnum opus in as far as a healthy food
for thoughts is concerned.
