This factory breeds 30 million mosquitoes per week. Here’s why Inside a two-story brick building in Medellín, Colombia, scientists work long hours in muggy labs breeding millions and millions of mosquitoes. They tend to the insects’ every need as they grow from larvae to pupae to adults, keeping the temperature just right and feeding them generous helpings of fishmeal, sugar, and, of course, blood. Then, they release them across the country to breed wild mosquitoes that can carry dengue and other viruses threatening to sicken and kill the population of Colombia. This is also happening in 11 other countries too. https://www.gatesnotes.com/Mosquito-Factory
