joining me from johannesburg south africa mario meyers as i guess of director african center for biodiversity. thanks for your time so you've spoken strongly against using genetically modified was key tools to help eradicate malaria why. thank you very much and her inviting me i think the 1st thing we must realize is that this is because time that a genetically modified insect has ever been released on the african continent continent in the context where there's been very very little experience on the part of african governments with g.m. crops and in the case of the king of paso with the g.m. mosquitoes had been released in july this year. there's been a dismal failure on genetically modified cotton now the genetically modified mosquito project can only be assessed. what we have already experienced with the release the 1st thing is that on their own version of target mariya there is no benefits to be accrued to the population or to the never eradication as a result of the release the release was intended for 2 purposes one to test the regulator capacity of the regulators of that country and
