Many people naturally think that this deliberate action could have very bad consequences for the world. After all, where are the mosquitoes? dirt and grime We can say that if they are there, they can drive people crazy, even if only for a short time, especially if they haunt us in the summer months.

Almost many types of bacteria Mosquitoes can transmit many diseases. Don’t worry, Singapore has no sinister plans for the world; even after reading ‘I wish it happened in our country too’ you can say!

We said that these mosquitoes are produced on purpose and that they even have special chambers for themselves. Mosquitoes produced in fermented sugar chambers produce approximately 24 million eggs per week.

As we mentioned earlier, mosquitoes are at risk of transmitting many diseases to humans. Singapore National Environment Agency also produced its own products to avoid this problem. disease-free mosquitoes He knowingly releases it into nature. However, we hear you say that the disease can still be transmitted.

These mosquitoes were bred in the laboratory where they were produced. By infecting the bacterium Wolbachia is released into nature. Don’t think that bacteria are harmful, because they actually occur almost everywhere in nature. For example; It is also found in butterflies, wasps and dragonflies.

So what is this Wolbachia bacteria and what does it protect us from? In fact, this bacterium has been used around the world for many years to prevent insect populations.

Singapore ICA laboratory where mosquitoes are kept separated as males and females.

Wolbachia, if transmitted to a mosquito malaria and dengue fever It is used to ensure that it no longer poses a threat to humans. Especially in tropical countries Commonly seen mosquitoes obviously carry the risk of the disease, which can be transmitted around the world.

We are all more or less familiar with malaria, but we are sure that many of us know nothing about dengue fever, so let us explain briefly. Dengue fever, if transmitted to humans It’s like your bones are breaking Although it causes pain, it is a very dangerous disease.

Although the number of encounters in the world is quite low, scientists are still conducting this research to prevent mosquitoes from becoming a threat. Moreover, this bacterium is a mosquito the appearance of the population It is also used in the name because the Wolbachia bacteria also have the ability to inhibit reproductive capacity.

Another goal of this study is to engineer mosquitoes so that they no longer transmit such diseases and their populations can be prevented.

Although it is not reflected much in the media, our readers who visit Singapore may know that Singapore has been a tourist destination for years. with mosquito problem has trouble with. Mosquitoes, which prefer urban, warm and densely populated areas to breed, have become a pest in Singapore.

Mosquito repellents are sprayed everywhere, people are advised not to be bitten and instructions are even given not to breed at home. Even in Singapore if you don’t follow these instructions There is even a fine! Isn’t it strange?

But whatever the government does, unfortunately it has not been able to prevent this for years and now that is the only solution by evolving mosquitoes He intended to prevent it. The newborn mosquito population will therefore no longer be able to reproduce as well as before and will not be able to infect people with the diseases they have been suffering from for years.

Bill Gates also funded a similar project in 2004.

Many people liked Bill Gates, who once put a picture of a mosquito on his X cover photo. like the devil Although he stated it, the truth of the matter was not exactly like that. Doing almost the same project as Singapore World Mosquito Program, In fact, he carried out this project to prevent diseases and control the mosquito population, just like this project.

We have shared content with detailed information on this topic, you can find it below:

Frankly, we were very jealous of this work and thought how wonderful it would be if it were implemented in our country. We hope that similar studies will be carried out in our country to combat the mosquitoes that plague us in the summer months! How did you find this research and do you think it is useful? Don’t forget to mention it in the comments.
