After a dengue outbreak in Key West, Florida, during 2009-2010, authorities, considered conducting the first US release of male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes genetically modified to prevent reproduction. Despite outreach and media attention, only half of the community was aware of the proposal; half of those were supportive. Novel public health strategies require community engagement.
2009年至2010年佛罗里达州基韦斯特发生登革热疫情后,当局考虑在美国首次释放经过基因改造以阻止繁殖的雄性埃及伊蚊。尽管进行了宣传并受到媒体关注,但只有一半的社区居民知晓该提议;其中一半表示支持。新型公共卫生策略需要社区的参与。
