Operation Drop Kick was conducted between April and November 1956 by the US Army Chemical Corps to test the practicality of employing mosquitoes to carry an entomological warfare agent in different ways. The Chemical Corps released uninfected female mosquitoes into a cooperative residential area of Savannah, Georgia, and then estimated how many mosquitoes entered houses and bit people. Within a day, the mosquitoes had bitten many people. In 1958, the Chemical Corps released 600,000 mosquitoes in Avon Park, Florida. These tests showed that mosquitoes could be spread by means of various devices.

(en) La Operazione Drop Kick (in inglese operation Drop Kick) era un progetto militare segreto condotto tra l'aprile e il novembre 1956 dal per sperimentare e valutare la possibilità di impiegare insetti per trasmettere in qualche modo agenti di guerra batteriologica e guerra entomologica. Lo U.S. Chemical Corps diffuse femmine di zanzare in un'area residenziale cooperativa di Savannah in Georgia e poi cercò di calcolare quanti insetti erano entrati nelle case e quanti avevano punto le persone; entro un giorno le zanzare punsero la maggior parte della popolazione. Nel 1959 il Chemical Corps diffuse oltre 600.000 zanzare ad Avon Park, in Florida. Queste operazioni sperimentali dimostrarono che le zanzare avrebbero potuto essere diffuse per mezzo di vari sistemi di erogazione. (it)
