Genetically modified mosquitoes to be released in Brazil - TopicsExpress

Genetically modified mosquitoes to be released in Brazil Brazil has become the first country to approve the release into the wild of genetically modified mosquitoes in order to combat the spread of dengue fever, reported New Scientist. The disease, which can be deadly, affects more than 50 million people worldwide every year. The biotech firm Oxitec in Oxford, UK, have genetically engineered males of the species Aedes aegypti so that their offspring die before reaching maturity. The idea is that if enough of the GM males mate successfully with females in the wild, the mosquito population would crash. Field trials have already taken place in the Brazilian city of Jacobina, where Oxitec recorded a 79 per cent drop in the mosquito population between June and December last year. The GM mosquitoes are also in the process of potentially being approved in the US by the Food and Drug Administration.
