The OECD highlights disparities in regulations on GMOs obtained by NGTs
The argument that the European Union must catch up with other countries by deregulating GMOs produced using new genetic modification techniques (GMOs/NGTs) is repeated ad nauseam by their proponents. However, at the end of 2025, an OECD report reviewed the legislation in force in some of the largest GMO-producing countries (Argentina, Brazil, Canada, the United States, etc.). And the least one can say is that the international legislative landscape is highly varied.
Male mosquitoes genetically modified to produce poison
Mosquitoes carry pathogens that cause diseases such as malaria and dengue fever, and are therefore known as vector-borne diseases. As part of the fight against these mosquitoes, researchers at Macquarie University (Australia) are considering a new genetic strategy. The idea is to genetically modify male mosquitoes so that their sperm produce molecules that will poison female mosquitoes.
