Google asks to release up to 32 million ‘good' mosquitoes in Florida. Here's why

Google plans to release up to 32 million sterile male mosquitoes in Florida over two years to reduce disease-spreading Aedes aegypti populations. The Debug project uses Wolbachia bacteria to sterilize male mosquitoes, which mate with wild females but produce no offspring, achieving up to 90% population suppression in Singapore. The EPA is reviewing the proposal for experimental use in Florida and California.
