Bhubaneswar: ICMR- Vector Control Research Centre (VCRC) at Puducherry has prepared mosquitoes to replace Dengue and Chikungunya mosquitoes, informed its Director Dr. Ashwani Kumar on Thursday.
The research centre is planning to release female mosquitoes which will mate with males and produce larvae that don’t have the viruses. The mosquitoes and eggs will be released once the government approves.
