A Florida government mosquito-control agency has confirmed that approximately 800,000 Aedes aegypti mosquitoes were raised in a laboratory, said to be sterilized with X-rays, and released from drones over part of Fort Myers, Florida, in what officials describe as a mosquito population-control experiment.

Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are known vectors of dengue, chikungunya, Zika, and yellow fever.

The mosquitoes are irradiated at 12 Gy per minute (12,000 mGy/min), while a human chest X-ray delivers only 0.1 mSv total—so the mosquito dose rate is 120,000 times higher than the dose a person receives in a chest X-ray.

Lee County Mosquito Control District says X-ray sterilised mosquitoes were released by drone over Fort Myers property, raising informed consent and public safety questions. PLANNED Vaccination Of A Pathogen By Stealth
