How worried should we be about the invasive mosquitoes in the UK?
Mosquitoes that can transmit infections like dengue, chikungunya and Zika virus have been found breeding in the UK.
The UK Health Security Agency announced that the species had been detected at residential properties in east London. The fourth time it’s been discovered in the UK in recent years, and the first time it’s been found breeding.

“For more than 15 years, the World Mosquito Program has worked with Queensland Health to help safeguard the region from diseases like dengue.
The program releases Aedes aegypti (dengue) mosquitoes carrying a naturally occurring bacteria called Wolbachia.
This bacteria is found in more than 50 per cent of all insect species and stops the mosquitoes from transmitting viruses such as dengue and Zika.”

More concerns about #GE mosquitoes -- especially since they can breed when exposed to #tetracycline
Behind an academic paywall:
Science snipes at #Oxitec transgenic-mosquito trial
by Nidhi Subbaraman
Nature Biotechnology volume 29, pages 9–10 (2011)
"#Oxitec's plans for transgenic #mosquito trials have not been without controversy in the past. They have been criticized by environmental groups, such as Ottawa-based #ETCGroup and #EcoNexus of Oxford, concerned about the risks of releasing an entirely new strain of organism into the environment".

So, yeah, some concerns about #Oxitec #GE #GM #mosquitoes were brushed off as "conspiracy theories" (of course the whole Zika connection was one), but it turns out that some of the concerns were real. To summarize, GE mosquitoes, allegedly bred to be sterile, become not-so-sterile when exposed to #Tetracycline -- a common antibiotic used in cattle, companion animals, and humans!
Following Review of Available Data and Public Comments, EPA Expands and Extends Testing of Genetically Engineered Mosquitoes to Reduce Mosquito Populations
For Release: March 7, 2022"To ensure that no OX5034 female mosquito offspring survive, EPA has taken the precaution of restricting release of OX5034 mosquitos within 500 meters of potential sources of tetracyclines, as there is a remote chance that environmental sources of tetracycline could have enough tetracycline present to act as a counter agent to the OX5034 female mosquito-lethal trait. Releases must not occur within 500 meters from the outer perimeter of 1) wastewater treatment facilities; 2) commercial citrus, apple, pear, nectarine, and peach crops; and 3) commercial cattle, poultry, and pig livestock facilities. The 500-meter distance creates a conservative buffer zone between OX5034 release points and potential environmental tetracycline sources."
"Oxitec must monitor for OX5034 female mosquitoes within 100 meters of those potential environmental tetracycline sources."
