Google is going to release 32 million mosquitoes in California to stop other mosquitoes. And this project is called "debug." You see, there are about 3,500 different mosquito species in the world, but Adidas egypti is especially dangerous because it spreads diseases like dengue, zika, and chickengunia. All of this makes mosquitoes the deadliest animals on the planet, since they kill more people than all other animals combined. So to fight them, the debug team, which is part of Google, creates "good bugs." They raise millions and millions of mosquitoes, then separate the males from the females, because the males are the ones that don't bite. The males are then infected with a natural bacterium called Wolbachia, which makes them sterile, and that's what they call "good bugs." And finally, these good bugs are released into the same natural habitat as the bad bugs. There they mate, but the eggs never hatch, and over time, this can dramatically reduce the population of mosquitoes that are dangerous to humans. And debug has already shown results in Singapore. There are around 10 million good bugs are released every week, reducing mosquito populations and dengue cases by more than 80%. And now, Google is seeking federal approval to release these good bugs across California and Florida, where mosquito spread diseases are becoming a bigger problem.
