Google to release 64 million mosquitoes in US
A subsidiary of Google announced plans to release 64 million mosquitoes in California and Florida with the aim of reducing the spread of mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue fever, Zika, and West Nile virus. The project involves breeding male mosquitoes genetically modified with the bacterium Wolbachia, which mate with wild females and cause their eggs to become non-viable, thereby contributing to a decrease in disease-carrying mosquito populations. The initiative seeks to combat the main mosquito species responsible for these illnesses, utilizing advanced techniques such as robotics and breeding algorithms. However, the project faces criticism and concerns over potential unforeseen environmental impacts, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has not yet granted final approval.
