Aedes Aegypti teria sido geneticamente modificado para não conseguir perfurar pele humana

Publisher’s rating: Falso

The review reports that a university professor identified the mosquito in the video as Aedes albopictus, not Aedes aegypti, and suggested it appeared weak or injured. The consulted experts said there was no evidence of genetic modification to prevent mosquitoes from piercing skin; the genetic-modification initiatives described instead aim to reduce mosquito populations.
