Verily's Debug Project

Verily's Debug Project is an initiative aimed at tackling mosquito-borne diseases, such as Zika and dengue fever. The project focuses on creating a healthier ecosystem by using a genetically modified strain of mosquitoes that suppresses the population of disease-carrying mosquitoes. These engineered males mate with females, resulting in offspring that do not survive to maturity. This innovative approach helps reduce the spread of diseases while minimizing chemical insecticides' environmental impact. Ultimately, the goal is to improve public health and safeguard communities affected by these infectious diseases.
