Mosquitoes can carry and spread more than 80 diseases. A variety of pathogens such as Seka virus, malaria, and seza virus are raging in Africa, and dengue fever and type B encephalitis are still popular in the world. In more than 200 countries and regions around the world, as many as 800,000 people die from germ infections caused by mosquitoes every year.
In March 2022, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved an amazing plan: Oxitech plans to release 2.4 billion genelian mosquitoes to the nature within 3 years, intending to eliminate mosquitoes in local areas.
But can the U.S. plan really succeed?
In fact, as early as 2009, researchers in the United States renovated the male and were put on the town. After three months, the number of local mosquitoes was finally reduced by 80%-95%, which was quite successful.
However, the good times did not last. After 18 months, the American experimental team found that mosquitoes rebounded significantly.
After research, it was discovered that there was a mosquito that had never appeared in the local area. This kind of mosquito not only overcome the defects brought by genetically modified genetically, but also had super resistance, and it was more difficult to be killed.
This result tells us that if humans try to eliminate mosquitoes with genetic engineering, they may suffer unprecedented rejuvenation.
Although gene weapons make humans become more and more powerful, it may also be a double -edged sword and must be used with caution.
