Monroe郡、florida — OxitecのOX5034男性 Aedes aegypti mosquitoes were the first genetically modified mosquitoes the United States approved for open release. The EPA issued an Experimental Use Permit in April 2020 for Monroe County, Florida, and a smaller Harris County, Texas plot. The Florida Keys Mosquito Control District started putting just-add-water boxes in the Keys in 2021. Locals fought it. The boxes went out anyway.
OX5034 males are engineered so female offspring die. Males do not bite. The pitch is population suppression of the mosquito that carries dengue, Zika, and yellow fever, without spraying the whole island. Three pilot seasons later, FKMCD and Oxitec (now branding the product Flyttr) said the males performed in the field. The release phase ended in summer 2024. Commercial use now sits with the EPA. 地域別ページ ブラント:これは登録された制御製品になるかどうかを決定するために連邦機関までです。

キーが待っていなかった。 6 月 2025 FKMCD は別の Wolbachia の男性を動かします Aedes aegypti project on three 20-acre sites. Infected males mate with wild females and produce eggs that do not hatch. The district noted it had already worked with Oxitec’s genetically manipulated males and that both “novel” tools use the mosquito against itself. The EPA’s emerging-technologies page still lists the OX5034 EUP history, including the extension through April 30, 2024 on 5,360 acres of Monroe County.
AEGIS Allianceは、バイオテクノロジープレスキットを奇跡として販売しません。 私たちは、キーが否定的な問題、スプレーの問題、および政治的問題を持っていたと言うでしょう、そして彼らは卵の箱を選びました。 商用登録が到着したかどうかは規制上の質問です。 関連項目: 太陽脱塩研究, 科学研究と 健康ニュース.
