GE mosquitoes won’t be released yet in Malaysia

Genetically modified (GM) mosquitoes will not be released into the population until all necessary studies and research are completed. Health Minister Datuk Liow Tiong Lai said the study of GM mosquitoes was still under trial as there are several stages to be completed before the release. ”The completed lab test was successful but we will not release the mosquitoes as the findings are still at research level,” he said after opening a health awareness seminar by Malacca Wanita MCA.
