Will breeding more mosquitoes help stop the Zika virus?
Scientists in Australia have discovered a special microbe which makes mosquitoes resistant to viruses such as dengue and Zika. Now thousands of volunteers, including school children, are breeding their own mosquitoes and releasing them into the wild. Professor Scott O'Neill from Monash University in Melbourne says that their offspring will be unable to transmit the disease.
