AI Thread Summary
Reproducing mosquitoes artificially from a single specimen involves techniques related to cloning, although successful cloning of mosquitoes has not been documented. Established mosquito cell lines exist, but the focus is on population control methods such as the sterile male technique, which utilizes repressed lethal dominant genes and radiation. Current male mosquito stocks are still obtained through traditional breeding methods rather than artificial reproduction.

How can we reproduce mosquitoes artificially from a single mosquito?
I know there is a technique like this but i do not know the name.
Can this technique be used to reproduce many mosquitoes from a single mosquito?

Cloning? I do not know of, and a brief search failed, a successful cloning of a mosquito. Particular mosquito cell lines have been established by cloning. For mosquito population control by the sterile male technique is in progress using repressed lethal dominant genes and by using radiation. The male stocks are acquired the old fashioned way.

The study provides critical new insights into the African Humid Period, a time between 14,500 and 5,000 years ago when the Sahara desert was a green savanna, rich in water bodies that facilitated human habitation and the spread of pastoralism. Later aridification turned this region into the world's largest desert. Due to the extreme aridity of the region today, DNA preservation is poor, making this pioneering ancient DNA study all the more significant. Genomic analyses reveal that the...
