First genetically
modified insect
Expected
to appear over the coming months in the United States the first insect modified
by genetic meansScientists
were able to genetic engineering to produce a type of mite that contains a gene
taken from a thickness of jellyfish for the purpose of combating pests of
cottonThere
will be test fired three thousand and six hundred of these genetically modified
insects within a field of cotton in the form of gated seven-meter-long cage in
the U.S. state of ArizonaThe
show environmental advocacy groups worried about the experiment planned for next
summer
But the researchers involved in the subject say that there is little risk of escape the insects. They say they will take precautionary measures to weaken its ability to reproduceProfessor Thomas said Miller of the University of California told BBC News Online that it is important to understand the experience and what motivates them, he said, adding that the scientific team behind them did not want to produce something cause problems added to what already existsHe explained that the pink worm that infects cotton caused heavy losses sometimes lead to bankruptcy of some ranchers which must be eliminatedMiller reassure protesters by saying that insects do not breed and will not come out of the limits of field cage only in the event of a hurricane and this is unlikely because the area that will take place where experience is not exposed to hurricanesGreen lightHowever experience still need to authenticate those responsible, but Professor Miller is optimistic to get the green light for the start of the experiment
In addition to these insects there are other modified animals in the way. For example, consider the Food and Drug Administration of America in deciding to approve the consumption of fish genetically modified salmon to become a fast-growingIt is believed that carp genetically modified commercially in circulation in China and that there is another kind of fish in Cuba, in addition to the presence of other types in different regions of the world
