"The mosquitoes bred in this factory carry bacteria called Wolbachia, which prevents them from transmitting dengue and other viruses such as Zika, chikungunya and yellow fever to humans. By releasing them to breed with wild mosquitoes, they spread the bacteria, reduce virus transmission and protect millions of people from disease."
