Thanks. Looked at it, however I don't know enough about to comment at this time.

I am suspicious however a mosquito program in Brazil from three years ago.

Genetically engineered mosquitoes added to the fight against dengue and chikungunya

However, Guy Reeves, a molecular geneticist at Germany's Max Planck Institute says, "Oxitec should still do more to show that the synthetic DNA causes no harm when transferred into humans by its mosquitos. To build trust in any cutting-edge science, a range of independent experts - not just the company that stands to gain or the regulatory agency involved - should have enough access to data published in peer-reviewed journals to be able to explain the scientific benefits and risks.

Are scientists to blame for Zika virus? Researchers released genetically modified mosquitos into Brazil three years ago

Since the last time I searched, there is a major media spin going on with Oxitec. The narrative being pushed is Oxitec is the wonder company that will stop Zika.
