    “For more than 15 years, the World Mosquito Program has worked with Queensland Health to help safeguard the region from diseases like dengue.

    The program releases Aedes aegypti (dengue) mosquitoes carrying a naturally occurring bacteria called Wolbachia.

    This bacteria is found in more than 50 per cent of all insect species and stops the mosquitoes from transmitting viruses such as dengue and Zika.”
