Answer:

Oxitec, short for Oxford Insect Technologies, develops and commercializes an effective and environment-friendly technology for controlling significant insect pests. Oxitec builds from research done in the University of Oxford and uses genetics and molecular biology to enhance the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) and thus, extend it later to a broader range of insect pests. Nowadays, Moscamed and The University of Sao Paulo in collaboration with Oxitec, are working in the evaluation 'Project Aedes Transgenico' (PAT)' which combats insects responsible for serious diseases such as dengue fever, carried by the mosquitoes<em> Aedes aegypti.</em>

Dengue disease represents a health challenge for Brazil. The Oxitec sterile insect approach has great potential and as in Moscamed are the experts in implementing sterile insects in Brazil, they have taken the lead in coordinating 'Project Aedes Transgenico' (PAT)'.

Phase 1 of the project involved transfer of engineered mosquito production from UK to Brazil.  Next, in Phase 2, success was demonstrated in controlling the mosquitoes that spread dengue disease in Itaberaba, a densely populated suburb in Bahia state in Brazil.

From the SIT technique, billions of insects have been genetically modified decades ago, breed in laboratories like Moscamed and released to mate. After a few days of releasing, these insects, all together with the eggs created when mating, will die.

What is the purpose of stage directions?
il63 [147K]
Stage directions are very significant in plays and scripts. They add context to the play and can also help to set the scene. Stage directions can add connotations to the play that may not have been as clear before. For example, in An Inspector Calls, when the ‘lighting turns pink’ this infers that the birlings could be wearing ‘rose tinted glasses’. This further implies that when they are wearing these glasses, they do not see the real world, but when they take them off, they realise that they are not perfect and are not powerful enough to not care about anything serious that happens.
