Unrelated to Disney but related to mosquitoes: Singapore's Wolbachia-Aedes suppression technology is very interesting, but specific to Aedes mosquitoes. The government releases male Wolbachia-Aedes mosquitoes that suppress the Aedes aegypti mosquito populations. > Male Wolbachia-Aedes mosquitoes are released regularly at NEA’s study sites to mate with female urban Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Their resultant eggs do not hatch and no offspring are produced. Continued releases lead to a decline in the urban Aedes aegypti mosquito population, and therefore less dengue transmission. https://www.nea.gov.sg/corporate-functions/resources/researc... |
