Miami releases bacteria-infected mosquitos to help prevent Zika
  • 6 years ago
Miami is releasing millions of male mosquitoes infected with a naturally-occurring bacteria in order help stop the spread of Zika virus. When the non-biting male mosquitos mate with wild female mosquitoes, their offspring will not make it to adulthood, driving down the population of these insects which are prone to carrying viruses like Zika, dengue fever and chikungunya.
