Sterile Mosquitoes Fight Disease in Rosemont | California News
Description
Sterile male mosquitoes are being released weekly in Rosemont to slash invasive populations and block disease outbreaks—no biting, just science. Starting from Sacramento’s successful pilot in South Natomas, this Sterile Insect Technique program targets dengue-carrying bugs by ensuring offspring don’t survive. Residents welcome the proactive move, as crews release 144,000 sterile mosquitoes each week until October, paired with traps and constant monitoring for a smarter, safer community.
