Oxitec, the recipient of a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) for โ€œself-limited mosquito field trials,โ€ in April 2021 launched its pilot project in the Florida Keys.

 

The company completed the first stage of the study with the release over seven months of nearly 5 million engineered Aedes aegypti mosquitoes.

 

The pilot study was conducted under an experimental use permit issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It was the first to be approved in the U.S., though the company has since received a permit to conduct a similar experiment in California.
