Modified mosquitoes to fight illness | News, Sports, Jobs

Apr 30, 2021
MIAMI (AP) Genetically modified mosquitoes are being released in the Florida Keys in an effort to combat persistent insect-borne diseases such as Dengue fever and the Zika virus.
The Florida Keys Mosquito Control District and the Oxitec biotechnology company announced Thursday that release boxes, non-release boxes and netted quality control boxes are being placed this week in six locations: two on Cudjoe Key, one on Ramrod Key and three on Vaca Key.
Starting early next month, less than 12,000 mosquitoes are expected to emerge each week for approximately 12 weeks. Untreated comparison sites will be monitored with mosquito traps on Key Colony Beach, Little Torch Key and Summerland Key. ....

Genetically modified mosquitoes released in Florida Keys, first in US

USA TODAY
On Thursday morning, workers from a British company placed basketball-size cardboard boxes into six yards in the Florida Keys.
Then they added water.
In a week or so, 12,000 male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes will – one by one – begin buzzing out of each box, the first genetically modified mosquitoes to be released in the United States.
Local officials argue the trial is necessary at a time when pesticides are increasingly ineffective against these dangerous pests. A 2016 vote on the project indicated a solid majority of support in most of the surrounding counties.
At the end of the day, our hope is to be able to control this mosquito more efficiently and keep our population below any sort of disease transmission threshold, said Andrea Leal, executive director of the Florida Keys Mosquito District. Our toolbox for Aedes aegypti control is shrinking, unfortunately, and that s making us think outside of the box. ....

Oxitec is launching a project to reduce the population of disease-causing mosquitoes. The box contains mosquito eggs and food. About a week after adding water, adult male mosquitoes begin to fly out. They are genetically engineered so their female offspring won t reach adulthood.
On Thursday morning, workers from a British company placed basketball-size cardboard boxes into six yards in the Florida Keys.
Then they added water.
In a week or so, 12,000 male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes will – one by one – begin buzzing out of each box, the first genetically modified mosquitoes to be released in the United States. ....
