Inventor S. Mill Calvert
Current Assignee TMARS Associates Trustee for Toxic mosquito aerial release system CRT Trust

"A mosquito delivery system for lethal and non-lethal applications is not available. If such a delivery system enabling legal non-lethal uses were available, it could later be adapted for military uses should legal restraints be altered or eliminated. For example, one unquestionably legal application of the toxic mosquito delivery system is immunization made possible by adding a toxin, that is, a genetically modified bacterium capable of activating a person's immune system to fight malaria, to mosquitoes. Those contaminated mosquitoes could be aerially released to immunize at risk populations against malaria."

"INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY
The invention has application to the aeronautics industry.
What is claimed is:
1. A device for aerial release of mosquitoes comprising:
an unmanned aerial vehicle operable by remote control, the
unmanned aerial vehicle comprising a motor,
a container connected to the unmanned aerial vehicle:
a central processing unit held by the container,
a mosquito breeding bin held by the container, the mos
quito breeding bin defining a self-contained Volume
housing mosquitoes;
a mosquito food housed within the mosquito breeding bin;
a toxin within the mosquito food, the toxin suitable to be
transmitted by mosquito bite after the mosquito con
Sumes the mosquito food;
a release tube connected to the mosquito breeding bin and
sized to release mosquitoes from the mosquito breeding
bin; and
a valve connected to the release tube, the valve controlled
by the central processing unit and operable by remote
control so that when opened, the mosquitoes have an
open pathway out of the container through the release
tube.
2. The device of claim 1, wherein the unmanned aerial
vehicle comprises a lifting blade that rotates to cause a down
draft when lifting the unmanned aerial vehicle; and wherein
the release tube has a length such that the mosquitoes released
therefrom avoid the downdraft from the lifting blade.
3. The device of claim 1, further comprising a compressed
gas source within the container and piped to release"
