“这些法庭文件表明Oxitec公司的转基因蚊试验存在着不值得冒的风险。佛罗里达州及其蚊子控制理事会过去曾经有效控制多种蚊子品种传播的疾病,使用更为温和的方式,例如疫苗、蚊帐、驱虫剂、杀幼虫剂、移除废弃轮胎这样的蚊子滋生条件“,《技术评估国际中心》政策主任Jaydee Hanson先生说。

This new evidence from the Cayman Islands highlights that Oxitec is aware of a major flaw in its single-species, technological approach to eradicating disease-carrying mosquitoes.

来自开曼群岛的这些新的证据突出表明Oxitec公司清楚了解他们灭除疾病携带蚊的单品种技术方法存在重大缺陷。

Oxitec makes clear that the release of the GE Asian Tigermosquito Aedes albopictus might be needed if the release of the GE Aedes aegypti results in an increase of the numbers of Asian Tiger mosquitoes.

Oxitec公司清楚表明,可能需要进一步释放转基因亚洲虎蚊,如果释放转基因白纹伊蚊造成亚洲虎蚊数量增加。

Oxitec's 2014 application to the Cayman Islands Department of Environment states, 'Should Aedes albopictus begin to occupy the Aedes aegypti niche upon reduction in their numbers, a concurrent operation will begin to reduce the numbers of Aedes albopictus'.

Oxitec公司2014年向开曼群岛环境部的申请称,“如果白纹伊蚊(亚洲虎蚊)因白纹伊蚊数量减少开始占据埃及伊蚊的领地,需要同时展开减少白纹伊蚊的操作”。

'It might be a good business model for a company to sell a technology to reduce one mosquito species, so then they can also sell a technology to deal with the species that replaces it,' said Wenonah Hauter, executive director of Food & Water Watch. 'But it's not worth the effort, expense and potential risk for communities in the U.S. to start down this path.'

“销售减少一种蚊子品种的技术,使他们能够进一步销售应对替代第一种蚊子品种的新的技术,可能是这样的公司的一个良好的商业模式”,《食物与水观察》执行主任Wenonah Hauter说。“但是这样做不值得美国的社区沿着这样的途径进行的努力、费用与潜在风险。”

Aedes albopictus is a more invasive species than Aedes aegypti and can be found in all east coast U.S. states from Maine to Florida, all southern states, most Midwestern states and in the states along the US-Mexico border from Texas west to California.

白纹伊蚊(亚洲虎蚊)是一种比埃及伊蚊更具侵略性物种,在美国所有东海岸缅因州到佛罗里达,所有南部州、大部分中西部州以及沿美国-墨西哥边境特克萨斯州到加利福尼亚州都能发现。

'Current permits for releases should now be revoked until regulators recognise the downsides of Oxitec's technology and the need to consider all the impacts on the ecosystem. The consequences of mass releases of GE mosquitoes could be harmful if other disease-carrying mosquito species move in as a result. Risk assessments in Brazil, the Cayman Islands and the USA need to be revised,' said Dr. Helen Wallace, director of GeneWatch UK.

“监管机构承认Oxitec公司技术不利一面以及承认需要考虑对于生态系统所有影响前,释放转基因蚊现在的批准应当撤销。巨量释放转基因蚊的后果可能有害,如果结果是其他疾病携带蚊品种乘虚而入的话。在巴西、开曼群岛以及在美国做的风险评估需要修改”,英国《基因观察》主任Helen Wallace博士说。

The company has also previously hid information about the mosquito's potential to survive. Company data noted that 15 to 18 percent of its GE mosquitoes survive when fed on cat food containing industrially farmed chicken, which contains the antibiotic tetracycline. Environmental groups have warnedthat this could lead to the survival and spread of large numbers of GE mosquitoes, when they encounter this common antibiotic in the environment e.g. in discarded takeaways or septic tanks.

Oxitec公司以前还隐瞒了有关转基因蚊生存潜在能力的信息。Oxitec公司的数据注明其转基因蚊吃了有抗生素四环素残留工业化养鸡成分猫粮后其生存率高达15-18%。环保组织警告,这导致转基因蚊的生存与大量传播,当它们接触环境中丢弃的猫粮与化粪池中这些普遍性的抗生素。

'Oxitec has misled the public about the risks. These GE mosquitoes may thrive in the wild or may lead to an increase in more aggressive mosquito populations,' said Dana Perls, senior food and technology campaigner withFriends of the Earth, U.S. 'We should be using the least toxic alternatives that don't have unintended consequences for our environment and health.'

“Oxitec公司对于这些风险误导了公众。这些转基因蚊在野外可能茁壮成长或者可能导致更为侵略性的蚊子群”,美国《地球之友》高级食品与技术活动家说。“我们应当使用对我们环境与健康不会造成意外后果的最少毒性其他手段。”

Florida Keys residents will have a non-binding vote on whether they support the release of Oxitec's genetically engineered Aedes aegypti mosquitoes on November 8, 2016. A separate but related vote will occur in Key Haven, Florida, where Oxitec has received permission from the Food and Drug Administration to release its GE Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in the first U.S. trial. Residents of Key Haven have strongly opposed the release of these mosquitoes.
