This July 13, 2019 photo provided by Guangzhou Wolbaki Biotech shows containers where adult Aedes albopictus mosquitoes are being raised at the company's lab in Guangzhou, China. Researchers zapped the insects with a small dose of radiation and infected them with a virus-fighting bacterium called Wolbachia. Males and female mosquitoes with different types of Wolbachia won’t have young that survive. So researchers intentionally infect males with a strain not found in the area and then release the insects. (Guangzhou Wolbaki Biotech via AP)
