Lisabona eliberează 30.000 de țânțari care nu înțeapă. Ce ar trebui să se întâmple apoi

Thirty thousand sterile male mosquitoes will be released in Lisbon's Alvalade neighborhood as part of a project to reduce the Asian tiger mosquito population, which can transmit diseases like dengue and Zika. This release aims to decrease the risk to public health by preventing reproduction. The sterile males compete with wild males for mating, leading to fewer offspring. This is the final test in a series that has seen 60,000 sterile mosquitoes released in Portugal. Researchers will monitor the behavior and survival of the released mosquitoes, with further studies planned if results are positive. Eliminating breeding sites remains crucial in controlling the mosquito population.
