Chapter 52.8: Skeeter Control

There's a story from the Raleigh News & Observer about an effort to keep mosquitoes from infecting people with diseases like malaria, dengue fever, and other horrible maladies that humans have suffered and died from for millennia. But I can't help wondering if we know whether or not such transfer of contagions somehow help humans evolve also. I don't mean that in the "natural selection" sense that the people who died were fated to die, but more in the "part of God's plan" idea that perhaps humans also receive a benefit from battling the evil in their bloodstream. I don't pretend to have answers, and I've only skimmed the story, but it caught my attention.
