Abstract: We discovered that the threat of mosquito-borne diseases are increasing each year as global temperatures rise. The current control methods currently being used to minimize this threat are unsustainable, creating lasting environmental impacts. Our goal is to create a plan for mosquito control companies to advertise the commercial use of Wolbachia to reduce vector mosquito populations using replacement methods.
