Everybody hates Mosquitoes, right? But why do Singaporeans love Mosquitoes so much that they are raising mosquitoes and then releasing them in their homes? Actually, everyone knows how dangerous mosquitoes can be and how many can be their number in the whole world, so everyone wants to kill them. But some researchers in Singapore have adopted a different and unique strategy to kill these mosquitoes and bring this insect reproduction to zero. They have manufactured some such mosquitoes in the laboratories, which are named good mosquitoes, meaning they will neither bite you nor make you suffer from diseases like dengue and malaria. Not only this, but they also eliminate the bad mosquitoes that are spread in your house or everywhere.

Now just think about why we see so many mosquitoes around us? Because they are increasing their population by mating. So what if mosquitoes can't produce offspring, then offcourse we can get rid of mosquitoes. These bacteria-carrying good male mosquitoes help to do the same because these male mosquitoes with a bacteria called Wolbachia are released at different locations. So that these male mosquitoes could mate with bad female mosquitoes, resulting in depriving the mosquitoes of their ability to lay eggs, or preventing eggs from hatching. After some time both the mosquitoes die and thus one mosquito kills the other. Similar strategies are being implemented in some other countries as well.
