Shortening the mozzie life

Some scientist have found that if they could shorten the life of a mosquitoes, it would make them less likely to carry deadly disease and infect us humans. I guess what they probably mean was that there would be less adult mosquitoes ard to bite us all.

Interestingly, they did this "life changing experience" by introducing a parasite that would shorten a typical 40 days lifespan to just 15 days.

Now I was just thinking out loud that wont this parasite mozzie be biting us within their 15 days and in turn, we gotten their life changing experiences. These scientists probably din count on that to happen.
