Tens of thousands of genetically engineered non-biting mosquitoes have been released in Djibouti to combat the spread of an invasive species that transmits malaria. This release marks the first time such mosquitoes have been introduced in East Africa and the second time on the continent. Similar technology has been successfully used in Brazil, the Cayman Islands, Panama, and India. The invasive species threatens to swamp African cities and set back years of progress on tackling malaria.
