Lab-bred mosquitoes 感染させるd with a bacteria that 原因(となる)s 女性(の)s to lay dud eggs 始める,決める to be 解放(する)d by the THOUSANDS in South Miami this week

  • MosquitoMate and 協力者s 解放(する)ing 感染させるd mosquitoes?in South Miami
  • The bugs are 感染させるd with the bacteria Wolbachia, which makes them sterile?
  • The 専門家s say this approach, unlike others, does not use 遺伝子工学
  • When they mate with wild 全住民s, bugs will produce eggs that can't hatch

研究員s are 始める,決める to 解放(する) thousands of bacteria-感染させるd mosquitoes in 近隣s throughout South Miami in a new 成果/努力 to fight Zika and other ウイルスs.

The 計画(する) is designed to 減ずる the mosquito 全住民s without the use of genetic modification, by instead using the 自然に occurring Wolbachia bacteria to 妨害する reproductive success.

When males 感染させるd with the bacteria mate with the wild 女性(の) 全住民, the resulting eggs will die before they’re able to hatch.

The 開始する,打ち上げる of the Miami-Da de 郡 Mosquito 削減 実験(する) Program is the 最新の 成果/努力 in a 共同 from the University of Kentucky and MosquitoMate.

The first 感染させるd males will be 解放(する)d this week.

Wolbachia can be 設立する 自然に in 概略で 60 パーセント of insect 種類, 含むing バタフライs, dragonflies, and some types of mosquitoes.

The 研究員s are using it to 的 a type of mosquito called Aedes aegypti, which is known to spread an array of 病気s, 含むing Zika, dengue, and yellow fever.

‘Wolbachia is special because it can 妨げる an insect from 再生するing,’ the 会社/堅い explains in a ビデオ about the 事業/計画(する).

‘This 現象 is known as cytoplasmic incompatibility. If a male mosquito that has Wolbachia mates with a 女性(の) that doesn’t, the eggs laid by that 女性(の) will die.

‘They will not hatch, they will not become larvae, and they will not turn into adults.

‘So what we need for cytoplasmic incompatibility to occur is for males that have Wolbachia to mate with 女性(の)s that don’t.’

While mosquito activity will rise in these areas, that doesn’t mean people will be getting more bites, the 専門家s explain.

HOW CAN BACTERIA-INFECTED 'GOOD BUGS' HELP CURB ZIKA?

The いわゆる ‘good bugs’ are 感染させるd with the 自然に-occurring bacteria called Wolbachia to 的 the invasive Aedes aegypti mosquito.

This 種類 is known to carry an array of 潜在的に deadly 病気s such as Zika, dengue, and chikungunya.

When 解放(する)d to mate with the wild 全住民s, these sterile males and wild 女性(の)s will not be able to 首尾よく 産む/飼育する.

Instead, the 'bad bugs' that mate with the 'good bugs' will produce eggs that cannot hatch.

This means each 世代 will subsequently be smaller than the one before it, until 'all of the bugs are 事実上 gone.'?

The 率先 will only be 解放(する)ing male mosquitos ? and, these do not bite or 血 料金d.

‘It will take the 解放(する) of thousands of male mosquitos that have Wolbachia,’ によれば the 会社/堅い.

‘And in time, we may see the number of mosquitoes start to go 負かす/撃墜する.’

A 類似の 裁判,公判 began 近づく 重要な West last spring - but, ハリケーン Irma's landfall in the Florida 重要なs interrupted the final weeks of 監視するing for that 裁判,公判.???

Verily revealed a plan to to release 20 million bacteria-filled mosquitos in the heart of California this past summer. The technique launched today by Verily’s Debug project uses a naturally occurring bacteria that causes them to produce dud eggs

Verily 明らかにする/漏らすd a 計画(する) to to 解放(する) 20 million bacteria-filled mosquitos in the heart of California this past summer. The technique 開始する,打ち上げるd today by Verily’s Debug 事業/計画(する) uses a 自然に occurring bacteria that 原因(となる)s them to produce dud eggs

The results are still p ending.

MosquitoMate also 共同製作するd with? Verily Life Sciences, an offshoot of Google’s parent company Alphabet Inc, and Fresno 郡’s 強固にする/合併する/制圧するd Mosquito Abatement 地区, this past summer to 解放(する) the bacteria-感染させるd mosquitoes in Fresno, California.?

専門家s spearheading the 成果/努力 say it could finally 供給する a way to take on the ‘deadliest animal in the world,’ 妨げるing mosquito-borne illnesses and 最終的に saving lives.?
