The scientists are taking the first steps to adapt a safe, targeted and efficient mosquito control method known as Incompatible Insect Technique to reduce the population of the disease-carrying mosquitoes that harm native birds in <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Incompatible Insect Technique acts like a birth control method for mosquitoes and it has already been adopted and proven successful around the country and the world to protect human health and quality of life. A similar method has been used in <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span> for decades to control fruit fly pests which are harmful to local agricultural products.<\/p>\n<p>Mosquitos are a nuisance and a hazard both to people and to <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span>&#8217;s native birds, which are in danger of extinction from decades of habitat loss, predation and diseases like avian malaria and avian pox.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We are already seeing the loss on <span aria-label=\"Kauai\">Kaua&#699;i<\/span> of the safe havens of higher elevation forests for our native birds. Mosquito-spread diseases are decimating bird populations and if we do nothing we could lose several more species in the next 10 years,&rdquo; said Cynthia King, an entomologist with <abbr>DLNR<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n<p>Just one of the 6 types of mosquitoes found in <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span> harms native birds&#8212;<em>Culex quinquefasciatus<\/em>. Scientists and conservationists are working together to use a bacteria that is naturally-occuring in fruit flies in <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span>. It is called <em>Wolbachia<\/em>, and the research, which will be done in controlled laboratory settings, involves giving the male mosquitoes a different strain of <em>Wolbachia<\/em> than is normally found in them, to prevent them from producing offspring. To reproduce, most mosquitoes carry a type of this <em>Wolbachia<\/em> in their system. When male mosquitoes with the different strain of <em>Wolbachia<\/em> try to mate with females, there are no offspring. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The process for mosquitoes is very similar to techniques that have been used for many decades in <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span> to control pest fruit flies for the benefit of agriculture,&rdquo; said King. &ldquo;It doesn\u2019t eradicate the insect, but helps to safely reduce the population on a landscape scale without the use of pesticides and without harming any other species.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><a
