There are flaws i Oxitec’s experime tal logic; for example, there have bee o e g e fever cases i the Flori a Keys si ce 20091 a the Ce ter for Disease Co trol otes that there is ot ata from a y of Oxitec’s other trials that show a re ctio i iseases.2 Eve a great re ctio i these mosq itoes still leaves e o gh mosq itoes i peoples’ homes a backyar s to sprea isease.’</p>
