    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the mosquito project, sponsored by Florida Keys' local mosquito-control board and Great Britain-based biotech firm Oxitec, which plan to release millions of genetically modified Aedes aegypti mosquitoes to test a new method of bioengineered pest control. Topics covered include how the Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are genetically modified, the concerns regarding the project and how Oxitec's work became controversial among locals like Ed Russo.
