They trade marked the term "Frendly" for a genetically modifying mosquitos. As far as i know some of these mozzies have been released in Florida. It does seem a lot like western country's are used as open laboratory's for this stuff and Bill Gates is funding it apparently.

Australian CSIRO web site has this. "The new venture leverages Oxitec's proven biological Friendly™ platform where genetically engineered male mosquitoes carry a self-limiting gene that ensures only non-biting males survive, reducing pest females and overall mosquito numbers through sustained releases."
