To stop the spread of diseases such as malaria, # will be released in Florida and Texas this summer in order to stop the spread of diseases such as malaria.
these genetically mutated mosquitoes will kill or reduce their numbers by mating with common local mosquitoes.
but scientists are concerned about the lack of regulation of the program. Is it feasible
extended reading of genetically modified mosquito control? Genetically modified mosquitoes actually contributed to the emergence of "super mosquito" mosquitoes are on their way, presumably we have enough psychological preparation.
summer mosquitoes, how annoying and annoying, scientists have been studying how to eliminate those that are more harmful to humans, such as the Aedes aegypti mosquito.
mosquito species as many as 3000 species, of which only a few dozen are harmful to humans, will spread a variety of diseases.
in developing countries and regions such as Africa, where hundreds of thousands of deaths from mosquitoes are caused each year.
scientists had planned to use genetically modified technology to eradicate mosquitoes, but what scientists did not expect was that these genetically modified mosquitoes had contributed to the emergence of "super mosquitoes".
principle, genetically modified mosquitoes are male mosquitoes that scientists use to transform with genetically modified technology, and if they interbreed with female mosquitoes in the wild, the next generation will lose their ability to reproduce.
the study began more than a decade ago, scientists have dropped the mosquito in many parts of Brazil, with a cumulative population of more than 1 billion, which is said to be working well.
, for example, in the Brazilian city of Yakobina, a test in previous years found that the number of wild mosquitoes in the area had been reduced to just 10%.
, however, scientists underestimate the ability of mosquitoes to adapt to the environment.
not long ago, researchers have discovered populations containing genetically modified mosquito genes where genetically modified mosquitoes have been released, meaning that the offspring of genetically modified mosquitoes have broken through genetic restrictions and some have regained their reproductive capacity.
the offspring of these mosquitoes are called "super mosquitoes".
scientists worry that the supermosquito will become more powerful and may be more harmful to humans.
it is understood that the research of this genetically modified mosquito, the United Kingdom's Oxitec biotechnology company, Oxitec also told the public that even if the "super mosquito" appeared, it will not bring greater health risks to humans, the current release of genetically modified mosquitoes is still in progress, "super mosquito" is only a very rare example.

Although there are no genetically modified mosquitoes in China, it seems to be the inevitable trend of future mosquito defense.
If genetically modified mosquitoes come to China in the future, would you agree to put them in the wild? Source: China News Network Baby Science.
