The US special breed mosquitoes that kill mosquitoes





The state of Florida will be the first in the United States, which will occupy the territory of a colony of genetically modified mosquitoes, "programmed" to kill ordinary mosquitoes. Based on the results of this test, scientists will decide whether to extend the mutants throughout the US, as well as in Africa, where malaria-bearing mosquitoes, like malaria, spread by them, is a serious problem. By the way, the mosquitoes bred in such a way that they are easy to destroy a population of common antibiotics - tetracycline.
