They are already releasing those mosquitoes here in Brazil, and without serious ecological issues since Aedes aegypti (it is a vector for dengue) is originally from Africa.
It have reduced the Aedes population by 80% in all tests in different environments. It seems very nice.
Changing the subject a little, there is also some people here testing Photogem as a "medicine" for killing the mosquitoes in the egg and larvae stage. It somehow "fotosensibilize" the mosquitoes and they got killed by sunlight or something.
