\nLast year, the country faced a record-breaking dengue epidemic, with over six million cases and more than six thousand deaths.
\nThis year, even before the onset of the rainy season, another 1.5 million infections and over a thousand fatalities have been reported.
\nScientists warn that climate change and insecticide resistance are exacerbating the crisis, extending the mosquitoes’ season and threatening public health.
\nIn response, Brazil is deploying an innovative solution: mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia bacteria, which prevents the spread of dengue.
\nA newly opened biofactory in Campinas, capable of producing 190 million of these mosquitoes per week, promises to shield 100 million people annually.
\nAdditionally, portable biofactories in the form of simple cardboard boxes allow these modified mosquitoes to be released in remote areas.
\nWith outbreaks worsening due to climate change, Brazil is turning to nature\u2019s own defences to curb this growing threat.<\/p>\n
