If everything goes according to plan, Alphabet's life sciences department will help many communities eliminate many mosquitoes. Verily, the health care company under the banner of Alphabet, has quietly invested in years of hard work on a project called "Debug Project". It is helping the United States and beyond the United States to reduce an invasive mosquito species called Aedes aegypti. This particular species is a known carrier of potentially fatal diseases such as dengue fever, Zika, Chikungunya and yellow fever.

Verily's steadily growing team of mosquito biologists and computer scientists are concentrating on "infertile insect technology." This technology has been used for decades to control the total number of mosquitoes. The idea is to release male insects that are incapable of reproduction into the wild to mate with females, which will then produce eggs that cannot be hatched. This method does not have to spend too much time in the life of the mosquito and only needs to be mated once, so it is most effective in controlling mosquito species. Considering these two aspects, Aedes aegypti is an ideal candidate for testing.
For a company that was previously part of GoogleX, this may seem like a peculiar proposition, but LinusUpson, vice president of engineering at Verily, said that since his student days at Princeton, he was interested in dealing with this issue. “At that time, I learned how many people died or were sick because of mosquitoes. The car killed more people, but only a little more than mosquitoes, and others (in the Alphabet) are trying to solve that problem. ."
Alphabet is also Google's parent company, and is working hard to make autonomous cars driving in the streets.
