Genetically modified mosquitoes were released in Djibouti to combat malaria as part of the two-year-old ‘Djibouti Friendly Mosquito Programme’. This method releases engineered male mosquitoes that mate with females, passing on a gene that prevents female offspring from surviving to adulthood, reducing the population of malaria-transmitting Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes. Similar methods have been successful in Brazil, the Cayman Islands, Panama, and India.
