In Medellin, Colombia, the world's largest mosquito factory is producing 30 million mosquitoes per week for the World Mosquito Program. By introducing Wolbachia bacteria into the mosquitoes, their ability to transmit diseases like dengue is stopped. The process involves releasing Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes into the wild population through mating. The factory houses mosquito eggs, larvae, and pupae, which are sorted by sex to manipulate the sex ratio. The mosquitoes are fed blood and then either packaged as eggs or released as adults into the field. With over half the world's population at risk of these diseases, the goal is to scale and deliver this solution to communities in need.

Hi. I'm Scott O'Neill here in Medellin, Colombia today, and I'm at the world's biggest mosquito factory for the World Mosquito Program. We're making in here 30,000,000 mosquitoes a week. We've been able to bring the solution of Wolbachia mosquitoes to the city. When this bacteria called Wolbachia gets introduced into the mosquito, it stops their ability to transmit dengue. We release mosquitoes that have Wolbachia, and then they go and mate, and Wolbachia gets passed into the wild mosquito population. If we're going to control these diseases in all the tropical cities of the world, it's gonna require a lot of mosquitoes. The mosquito life cycle starts with the egg, and in this room, we've got a lot of eggs. Each one of these strips, these tiny black dots are up to 10,000 mosquito eggs.

A billion genetically modified mosquitoes are being released in the Florida Keys to combat diseases like dengue, yellow fever, and Zika. This is the first time such mosquitoes are being released in the US. The British biotech company, Oxitec, obtained permission from the EPA to release them across 6,000 acres in Florida and Texas. However, a 2019 Yale University study warned that this plan could have unintended consequences. It suggested that the release of these mosquitoes could lead to the creation of hybrid mosquito babies that are more resistant to insecticides, potentially worsening the spread of diseases. The potential risks raise concerns about the success of this initiative.

People eating too much meat is a problem for the planet, but many are unwilling to give it up due to weakness of will. One solution could be using human engineering to make people intolerant to certain types of meat, similar to how some are intolerant to milk or crayfish. An example of this is the long star tick, which can make people allergic to meat if it bites them. Through human engineering, we have the potential to address significant global issues.

This precision tool introduces a protein RNA complex into cells or tissues to correct mutations. The complex can be injected into fertilized eggs, such as those of a mouse. In an experiment targeting the gene for black coat color, edited eggs implanted in a female mouse resulted in mostly white pups. These mice have a single genetic change in every cell, giving rise to the white coat color, but are otherwise normal. This type of experiment used to take at least a year; now it can be done in a few weeks. The technology has seen exponential growth in publications and is being used for targeted genetic changes in plants, fungi, and animals important agriculturally or as pets. It's also being used to make changes in stem cells and in animal models of human disease, with the possibility of making changes in humans in the future.

CRISPR is a molecular tool that allows for precise genetic editing. Since its introduction in 2012, it has been used to modify various species, including potentially spreading alterations through wild organisms. Malaria is a highly destructive disease, causing the death of 400,000 children annually. Scientists propose using CRISPR to disable or eliminate the mosquito species that transmit malaria, as it is a more effective solution than widespread DDT spraying. Despite potential risks, the severity of malaria outweighs any possible negative consequences, making it a worthwhile endeavor.
