Biotech company Oxitec has released millions of genetically engineered male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in the Florida Keys to combat disease spread. The EPA recently approved the release of an additional 2.4 billion modified bugs in California and Monroe County, Florida. These lab-created insects carry a self-limiting gene designed to kill female offspring before they reach maturity, though critics remain concerned about long-term environmental impacts.
