PUTRAJAYA: The Health Ministry has denied that Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes have been released in Negeri Sembilan, as claimed in a video that has gone viral on social media.

Health deputy director-general (Public Health) Datuk Dr Norhayati Rusli instead said the video was related to the ministry’s malaria eradication programme and had nothing to do with the dengue control programme using Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes.
