WHO backs release of Wolbachia bacteria, genetically modified mosquitoes to fight Zika virus | 19 March 2016 | The World Health Organization (WHO) called on Friday for pilot projects to test two experimental ways to curb Zika-carrying mosquitoes, including testing the release of genetically modified insects [which caused explosion of the Zika virus] and bacteria that stop their eggs hatching. After convening a meeting of its Vector Control Advisory Group (VCAG) earlier this week, the WHO said its specialists had reviewed five potential new weapons against Aedes mosquitoes…releasing mosquitoes carrying Wolbachia bacteria, and using genetically modified, or transgenic, male mosquitoes to suppress the wild population – “warrant time-limited pilot deployment, accompanied by rigorous monitoring and evaluation”.
