## Caption

A mosquito facility in Medellín backed by the Bill Gates Foundation breeds mosquitoes designed to reduce the spread of dengue and Zika. The project mainly uses Wolbachia bacteria, though some mosquito control programs worldwide also involve genetic engineering techniques. Released insects mix with wild populations and gradually lower disease transmission, with studies reporting major reductions in dengue cases across several treated regions.
