Did you know that one million residents across Singapore are now covered under Project Wolbachia? This comes after the expansion of the number of sites covered under the initiative as part of efforts to stem the transmission of dengue fever.

For those who aren't familiar with the initiative, it’s a pilot using male mosquitoes infected with the Wolbachia bacteria to suppress the population of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. 

As we enter warmer months of the year when dengue transmission is typically higher, dengue expert, Associate Professor Ng Lee Ching, Group Director of the Environmental Health Institute at National Environment Agency elaborates on challenges of the project and how effective it has been in curbing dengue cases in Singapore so far.
