There is a proverb to kill mosquitoes. The drone will be without killing mosquitoes. This manless man will be from the airspace, but will do the opposite thing, which will do exactly the opposite of the mosquito breeding.

The United Nations has achieved great success in the killing and sterilization of mosquito bacteria. After the field test, the success came. As part of the fight against jica virus in Brazil, millions of Edis mosquitoes are being sterilized and barren drone.

The United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) says that mosquitoes and dengue viruses spread to lethal fever when mosquitoes bite. Those male mosquito nursing laborers have been sterilized and barren. The male mosquito mixed with female mosquitoes is not producing effective eggs.

Jeremy Boair, an IAEA expert, said, "With time you can reduce mosquito breeding and suppress the next generation of mosquitoes by 99 percent. We were not concerned about releasing mosquitoes in the air. But now using the drone is being without mosquitoes. This is a great success by reducing excessive cost and saving large quantities of mosquitoes. '

Recently, Reuters reported that the jica virus spread to the epicenter in Brazil in 2015-16. Due to this virus, thousands of babies are born with errors. Spending time and labor is now being passed without inactive mosquito reproduction. Till now, the process of releasing these mosquitoes is time-dependent and labor-intensive. The work is done by sending trucks in areas where roads are bad and floods.

IAEA, United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization and non-profit company Virobotics last month released about 280,000 mosquitoes using advanced technology and specially adapted drones in Brazil's northeast.

"I know as far as I know, a large number of mosquitoes have been successfully released from a drone for the first time," said Adam Kloptochz, co-founder of Weirobotics. "We are leaving a large mosquito environment in a remarkable and effective way."

Jeremy Boair said that Thailand, Singapore, Montenegro and Greece have shown interest in the project to release mosquitoes with drones to reduce the use of pesticides. According to the World Health Organization, hundreds of millions of people die of mosquito-borne disease every year.

With the success of mosquito killings and sterilization, mosquitoes are expected to play an important role in protecting the environment.
