Debug Fresno will target the invasive Aedes aegypti mosquito, which can transmit diseases like Zika, dengue, and chikungunya. Aedes aegypti first appeared in the central valley of California in 2013, and since then has become pervasive in Fresno County. This study will be the largest U.S. release to-date of sterile male mosquitoes treated with Wolbachia, a naturally occurring bacterium, and will take place over a 20 week period in two neighborhoods each approximately 300 acres in size. When these sterile males mate with wild females the resulting eggs will not hatch. To measure our outcomes, we will compare the adult population density and egg hatching of Aedes aegypti in these targeted areas to two control neighborhoods. Over time, we hope to see a steep decline in the presence of Aedes aegypti in these communities.

This is pretty cool.

Yeah, it might seem pretty cool at the moment. But what is the future effects that it can cause. They are laughing at Alex Jones right now, saying that he going around spreading false rumors about changing the sex on male frogs. People thinks that it is funny that he conjures up these type on fake stories. But here is some more jokes to add to the list.

Wolbachia is an endosymbiont bacteria that infects the
gametes of up to 76% of the world's insect species, causing
such bizarre effects as cytoplasmic incompatibility,
male-to-female sex-change, parthenogenesis, and in some
cases outright killing off of all male off-spring. Wolbachia in Humans?






And so it is possible to change sex in certain species through man-made substance. But why is they making as if Alex Jones is making up these stories? And so those mosquitoes that there is a slight possibility that they can cause hormonal imbalances in humans, since they can spread other different type of diseases in other species, like us. It speaks in the Bible about men creating abominations that leads to desolation and this could be one of the abominations that the Bible speaks of.


Mosquitoes are known to be attractive to the bacteria or fungus that our bodies' produces. But it is not attracted when our bodies pouring out sweat. But after when the bacteria starts producing. And so why they do not make something that destroys the bacteria that is on our bodies. And there is a certain spray out on the market that get rid of bacteria on the body without having to bathe. You just spray it onto the body and then go out into the public.
But destroying a colony of mosquitoes without knowing all of the benefits that mosquitoes has, that it might cause something even worst for the environment.

I know that this can be annoying..


Still, the identification of skin bacteria as playing a role in one’s attractiveness to mosquitoes provides a clue. Among the aforementioned carboxylic acids that alert mosquitoes to our presence are several short-chain and medium-chain fatty acids that are associated with body odor. Sweat itself is odorless until bacteria act on it to make it stink. Bacteria, by metabolizing our sweat, are essentially sending up a red flag to tell mosquitoes we’re here. Why mosquitoes bite some people and not others
