Google has asked US regulators for permission to release up to 32 million specially treated mosquitoes in parts of California and Florida. The project aims to reduce the spread of mosquito-borne diseases. The mosquitoes are designed to interfere with breeding and lower the number of insects that can carry harmful diseases. The releases would take place over two years in selected areas. Before the project begins, federal authorities will review safety and environmental data. If approved, Google will monitor the results and study the impact on public health. The findings could help shape future mosquito control efforts in the United States.
