Original Note:
These gene modified mosquitoes are incapable of spreading disease: Only female mosquitoes bite, and these die before adulthood. Additionally, they were released in Monroe County, 160 miles away from the detected cases, as well as California. None were released in Texas. https://www.cdc.gov/mosquitoes/mosquito-control/community/emerging-methods/genetically-modified-mosquitoes.html https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/epa-oks-plan-release-24-million-genetically-modified-mosquitoes-rcna19738
