Fine-scale landscape genomics show asymmetric patterns of gene flow for the invasive mosquito Aedes albopictus
Mosquito-borne viruses like dengue, Zika, and chikungunya pose increasing health risks in the United States due to the expanding range of Aedes albopictus, a highly invasive mosquito species that now has a global distribution. Aedes albopictus thrive in artificial containers associated with anthropogenic land use, allowing populations to reach high numbers in urban and suburban environments. While the global spread of Ae.
Instance-Wise Contrastive Graph Neural Network Enables the Discovery of Novel Aedes aegypti Larvicidal Compounds
Aedes aegypti remains a major arboviral vector, making larval control a critical strategy to reduce mosquito populations. However, resistance to commercial larvicides has reduced the long-term effectiveness of current interventions, reinforcing the need for new compounds with improved potency and selectivity. Here, we present an instance-wise contrastive graph neural network (GNN) framework to accelerate the discovery of novel larvicidal compounds.
Debug Project
Debug is a group of scientists and engineers developing technology to raise and release sterile mosquitoes to eliminate the ones that carry disease. Mosquitoes kill more people than every other animal combined. One species, Aedes aegypti, carries diseases such as dengue, Zika, yellow fever, and chikungunya which make hundreds of millions of people sick every year.
Google mosquito army: Scientists say 'we must take action'
Google mosquito army: Scientists say 'we must take action' June 3, 2026What's the best way to combat disease-spreading mosquitoes? At least that's the plan of scientists at Google's Debug program. The researchers want to release 16 million mosquitoes each in the US states of Florida and California in a first step.
Good vs bad mosquito: What is Google's plan to fight pest-borne deadly diseases?
Google plans to release millions of mosquitoes into the United States in a new project aimed at curbing mosquito-borne diseases by releasing more “good bugs” instead of fighting them. Mosquitoes are responsible for around 700,000 to 1 million human deaths worldwide every year, making the flying pests the deadliest insect on the planet. Their numbers are expected to rise as climate change and migration increase their transmission and expand mosquito habitats.

Dengue is no longer just a travel risk—what Google's mosquito plan could mean for your summer
Dengue is no longer just a travel risk—what Google's mosquito plan could mean for your summer Robert Egan Associate Editor This is not science fiction or some perverse prank. A Silicon Valley tech giant is seeking federal approval to release up to 64 million sterilized male mosquitoes in California and Florida over the next two years.
From urban runoff to mosquito success : spatiotemporal microbial assembly in larval water habitats under anthropogenic stressors
Urban mosquito habitats are heterogeneous aquatic ecosystems where anthropogenic inputs shape physicochemical conditions and microbial community assembly. However, the combined effects of environmental chemistry and microbial dynamics on mosquito fitness remain poorly understood across space and time. Here, we integrated environmental chemistry, metabarcoding, and experimental assays to investigate how spatiotemporal variation in urban larval habitats influences environmental microbial...
Google wants to release 64 million bacteria-riddled mosquitoes across California and Florida. Here’s why scientists are enthusiastic.
Google wants to release 64 million bacteria-riddled mosquitoes across California and Florida. Here’s why scientists are enthusiastic. Google has applied for an experimental mosquito release permit to deploy millions of non-biting southern house mosquitoes that it has infected with the bacterium Wolbachia pipientis, in an effort to reduce mosquito-borne diseases like West Nile virus.
