Genetically-modified Aedes mosquitoes: Malaysian panel still studying feasibility

Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said the biosafety committee was still studying the feasibility of using such mosquitoes as an effort to reduce dengue. “The committee is conducting a survey among members of the public and we are waiting for their report. “We will not release the mosquitoes until the committee presents its findings to us. The findings will be deliberated by the cabinet,” he said at the prime minister’s Hari Raya open house.
