Why Google wants to release millions of mosquitoes in the US
Google's Debug research program is seeking approval from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to release 16 million Wolbachia-infected sterile male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes each in Florida and California as an initial step to reduce populations of the invasive species, which spreads dengue, Zika, yellow fever, and chikungunya. Entomologists confirm the method carries minimal ecological risk since Aedes aegypti is not native to the targeted U.S. states, and similar programs by the World Mosquito Program have successfully reduced dengue outbreaks in other regions.
