Description: Samo u jednoj godini širom sveta zabeleženo je 200-300 miliona slučajeva malarije i 50-100 miliona slučajeva denga groznice. Zašto još uvek nismo pronašli način da efikasno ubijemo komarce? Hadin Peri predstavlja fascinantno rešenje: genetsko modifikovanje mužjaka komaraca da bi ih učinili sterilnim i puštanje ovih insekata u divljinu, da bi presekli ovu vrstu koja prenosi bolesti.

Mosquitos have killed more humans than any other animal, causing hundreds of millions of cases of malaria and dengue fever each year. Traditional control methods like chemicals and fogging have failed to stop their explosive spread, especially as dengue fever cases have increased thirtyfold in fifty years. A novel approach uses genetically engineered male mosquitos that produce no viable offspring, slashing populations by up to 85 percent in field trials. This targeted solution aims to save lives while minimizing harm to the environment and other species.
