The United States approved the release of 7.5 billion genetically modified mosquitoes, where to put

According to the British "Daily Mail" on June 18**,The US state of Florida has ratifiedOxitec to the natural worldRelease of 100 million genetically modified mosquitoesto reduce the spread of disease. Oxitec will be using these genetically modified mosquitoes later this summerUnleashed on the Florida Keys in southern Florida.

According to reports, this genetically modified mosquito is bred by the British biotechnology company Oxitec, all males, and when mating with female mosquitoes, these mosquitoes will pass on a special protein, reducing the survival chances of female offspring. As the number of female mosquitoes decreases from generation to generation, the total number of mosquitoes will also decrease, and the rate of transmission of diseases through mosquito bites, including dengue fever and Zika virus, will decrease.

Without verification, there is no conclusion, which is also the main concern of every R&D scientist, and the final result can only be obtained through experimentation. If you look at what you say in the follow-up, you can release it if you are not sure, isn't that a test on people? Why can't we make sure that after a successful test in a specific environment, it is true to contribute to human society by releasing it?

Scientific biological experiments are a rigorous and serious matter, which is related to high-risk issues that affect human survival. Genetically modified mosquitoes released into nature must go through rigorous scientific demonstrations, and from the perspective of the rigor of scientists, it should be possible to basically rest assured that this practice is practiced.

If you can prevent the contagion, it is good, if the mosquito bites the contagious one and you can't prevent it, then it is a tragedy ......

If the batch of mosquitoes studied in the United States actually has a good effect and can be reproduced all the time, then it is of great benefit to humans, and this can be determined through relevant experiments and practices. If the experiment is very successful, it can be generalized in some tropical areas, in some places where mosquitoes are easy to breed and breed, I think it will be beneficial to the whole human race, especially in Africa, where they have already suffered greatly.

Florida Island in south-central Florida.

I don't think so, nature is a cyclical system

Will it work? It's controversial.

Fighting poison with poison, I feel a little scary.

Is the coronavirus transmitted by this mosquito?

According to ABC 27**, the US state of Florida will release about 10,000 male mosquitoes designed by the British company Oxford Insect Technology in May to mate with the female Aedes aegypti mosquito, so that their offspring will not survive. The release of the mosquitoes is a genetically modified mosquito, which is currently in an experimental release, and there are still many questions about this release, and many experts have expressed concern.

The role of genetically modified mosquitoes The United States approved the release of 100 million mosquitoes, the purpose is very simple, that is, to eliminate mosquitoes, and use mosquitoes to eliminate mosquitoes. These transgenic mosquitoes will mate with female mosquitoes in the wild after being released outdoors, and the experiments of Oxford Insect Technology have proved that the survival rate of female mosquitoes after mating with transgenic mosquitoes will be much reduced, which can effectively reduce the number of mosquitoes. The release of genetically modified mosquitoes are ambitious, so that the survival rate of female mosquitoes can be reduced from the root to solve the problem of mosquito numbers, the same mosquitoes that can suck blood are female, this method can reduce the probability of human being bitten by mosquitoes, mosquitoes transmit diseases mainly through blood sucking, mosquitoes with a large number of virus bites have a high probability of transmission to the human body, so the release of these genetically modified mosquitoes reduces the possibility of human beings suffering from diseases due to mosquito bites.

The function of these mosquitoes is to reduce the reproduction of mosquitoes, and they cannot reproduce offspring, but any species has its purpose of existence, and even a small species like mosquitoes will have a great impact if they disappear.

These genetically modified mosquitoes were artificially transplanted with sterilized genes. Female mosquitoes mated with these genetically modified mosquitoes will no longer be fertile.

The release of genetically modified mosquitoes from Florida in the United States can reduce the population of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in order to control the spread of diseases such as dengue, Zika virus, yellow fever and more.

According to the United Press International (UPI) 19** channel,The Monroe County Mosquito Control District in Florida has signed a project that will release about 100 million genetically modified mosquitoes。The female offspring produced by these mosquitoes die at the larval stage and do not grow up to be big enough to bite people and spread disease. Both Florida and the United States have approved the project.

The Florida Keys Mosquito Control Area considers the program a way to limit the breeding of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Aedes aegypti mosquitoes transmit dengue fever and other diseases and show resistance to insecticides.

This is the first release of genetically modified mosquitoes in the United States, and some health** and the public have questioned the safety of such a program. Jaydee Hanson, policy director of a nonprofit organization in the United States, said the EPA refused to seriously analyze the environmental risks that the move could cause, and people did not know what would happen after that.

I feel that the brains of Americans are really big.

The aim was to test whether genetically modified mosquitoes could be used as an alternative to spraying insecticides for the control of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. This is a mosquito that carries several deadly diseases such as Zika virus, dengue, chikungunya, and yellow fever.

The mosquito, named OX5034, was engineered to produce female offspring that die at the larval stage, and the larvae have not hatched and grown enough to bite and spread disease.

Oxitec is an American company, based in the United Kingdom, and it was this company that developed this genetically modified organism. According to Oxitec, the mosquito was also approved for release into Harris County, Texas, starting in 2021.

The aim is to use special genetic means to eliminate mosquitoes capable of carrying the dengue virus.

According to the British "Sun" 8**,To stop the spread of malaria and other diseases, lab-bred mutant mosquitoes will be released in Florida and Texas this summer. But scientists are concerned about the lack of oversight of the program.

Genetically mutated mosquitoes, bred by British biotechnology company Oxitec, will kill or reduce their populations by mating with local common mosquitoes. While the technique has shown good promise in experiments, experts warn that the plan, in practice in the field, could suffer terrible mistakes.

This strategy has considerable potential benefits for the hundreds of millions of people affected by mosquito-borne diseases each year. "However, we are concerned that the current surveillance and scientific assessment of genetically modified mosquitoes does not ensure that they are deployed responsibly," a group of scientists and ethicists said. ”

The United States may use bio** to release millions of genetically modified mosquitoes! Expert: The consequences may be very scary.

The environmental protection mosquito control tank has been successfully developed, which can be made of waste plastics, which can be said to be double environmental protection and has won the national new patent. After it is put into use, it is expected to completely solve the problem of mosquito control and epidemic prevention.
