Wolbachia-infected mozzies to the rescue

MELAKA: The state Health Department will release mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia in more areas, especially in Melaka Tengah, in stages in an effort to reduce dengue cases.

Its director Datuk Dr Rusdi Abd Rahman said among the areas were Kota Laksamana, Sungai Udang and Bukit Baru, but it depends on the ability of various parties to breed the insects.
