Google’s Mosquito Experiment: Millions of Bugs to Be Released Across US in Bold Disease Control Plan
Google’s parent company Alphabet is planning a bold and unusual experiment in the US. Under its “Debug” program, the company has asked federal regulators for permission to release up to 32 million sterilized mosquitoes across California and Florida. The goal is not to spread disease, but to reduce mosquito-borne illnesses like dengue and malaria by controlling their population. While it sounds alarming, scientists say it could be a breakthrough in public health.
