From the article:
Scientists have been playing god with mosquitos for a couple of years now. In 2020, British company Oxitec received approval to start releasing up to 750 million lab-modified mosquitos in Florida over the course of two years, starting in 2021. Now, the company is gearing up to release another swarm of genetically modified mosquitos across more of Florida and in California as well.
