Project Wolbachia – Singapore has reduced the dengue mosquito by 90% in existing study sites! In May 2020, we extended releases of male Wolbachia-Aedes mosquitoes to Choa Chu Kang and Keat Hong, and will further extend coverage to Hong Kah North in June 2020. Don’t be alarmed if you notice more mozzies. The male Wolbachia-Aedes aegypti mosquitoes released by NEA do not bite or transmit disease.

Great news for residents of Choa Chu Kang, Keat Hong and Hong Kah North! As part of Project Wolbachia, we’ll be releasing male Wolbachia-Aedes aegypti mosquitoes at selected dengue hotspots in your neighbourhoods this month. Don’t worry, male mosquitoes DO NOT BITE. Existing field studies at Tampines and Yishun have been successful with a 90% reduction of female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, the main vector for dengue. So how does Project Wolbachia help in suppressing the dengue mosquito population

#DIDYOUKNOW that the male Wolbachia-Aedes mosquitoes released by NEA will NOT attract more female mosquitoes? Instead, males are the ones that seek out females. That’s why you might see male mosquitoes being attracted to you, or even landing on you. They’re staying close to you in the hope of finding females, who also like to hang out around humans to look for blood meals! Unlike female mosquitoes, male mosquitoes do not bite. You do not need to do anything differently. You may use NEA-registere

Project Wolbachia is continuing in our neighbourhood to help reduce dengue risk 🦟 From 27 January, male Aedes mosquitoes will be released twice a week on Tuesday and Friday mornings.

Good news! Project Wolbachia has successfully suppressed the dengue mosquito population and reduced dengue cases in the study sites in Tampines and Yishun. With the strong support of residents in the study sites, Project Wolbachia continues to achieve more than 90% suppression of the dengue mosquito population. Correspondingly, much fewer dengue cases are reported from these areas. Because of the low dengue mosquito population, NEA is now able to release fewer male Wolbachia-Aedes mosquitoes in
