Google's Mother Company, Alphabet, has collaborated with American scientists to reduce the population of mosquito-borne populations. Google's plan is to create 2 million mosquito-borne mosquitoes, which prevent mosquito population from growing. 

According to the Washington Post report, according to the plan, millions of malaria males will be left in the Fresno County of California. When the male mosquito will be infected with female mosquitoes present in nature, then the female mosquito that will lay eggs will not develop children.

The name of this project is debugged Fresno. This scheme is being operated by Verification by AlfaBet subsidiary company Verli. 

Scientists said that its purpose is to reduce the number of Aedes ageptai mosquitoes. This species of mosquitoes are responsible for spreading Zika, Dengue, and Chikungunya.

The company has planned to release 10 lakh male-pronged mosquitoes in two areas, located near Fresno County in 20 weeks, which do not bite. 

It has been said in the report that they will be infected with Wolbichia bacteria to produce stained male mosquitoes. Wolbachia is a type of bacterium that is found to be naturally found in 40% of pests.
