Bakteri Wolbachia yang dipakai secara alami ditemukan pada 60 persen serangga. Dalam eksperimen ini, Wolbachia yang diinjeksikan diambil dari lalat buah. Foto: AN Uyung P/detikHealth

Dalam tubuh nyamuk, Wolbachia akan memblok virus Dengue sehingga tidak menular saat nyamuk mengisap darah manusia. Wolbachia dan Dengue berkompetisi dalam tubuh nyamuk. Hasilnya adalah nyamuk super yang justru mencegah DBD. Foto: AN Uyung P/detikHealth

Wolbachia diinjeksikan dengan jarum mikroskopis pada telur nyamuk Aedes aegypti. Butuh ribuan kali percobaan hingga akhirnya para ilmuwan sukses menginjeksikan bakteri tersebut ke tubuh nyamuk Aedes. Foto: AN Uyung P/detikHealth

GUANGZHOU, CHINA - JUNE 20: Chinese Phd student and researcher Zhang Dongjing displays a container of sterile adult male mosquitos that are ready to be released in a lab in the Mass Production Facility at the Sun Yat-Sen University-Michigan University Joint Center of Vector Control for Tropical Disease on June 20, 2016 in Guangzhou, China. Considered the worlds largest mosquito factory, the laboratory raises millions of male mosquitos for research that could prove key to the race to prevent the spread of Zika virus. The labs mosquitos are infected with a strain of Wolbachia pipientis, a common bacterium shown to inhibit Zika and related viruses including dengue fever. Researchers release the infected mosquitos at nearby Shazai island to mate with wild females who then inherit the Wolbachia bacterium which prevents the proper fertilization of her eggs. The results so far are hopeful:  After a year of research and field trials on the island, the lab claims there is 99% suppression of the population of Aedes albopictus or Asia tiger mosquito, the type known to carry Zika virus. Researchers believe if their method proves successful, it could be applied on a wider scale to eradicate virus-carrying mosquitos in Zika-affected areas around the world.  The project is an international non-profit collaboration lead by Professor Xi Zhiyong, director of the Sun Yat-Sen University-Michigan University Joint Center of Vector Control for Tropical Disease with support from various levels of Chinas government and other organizations.  (Photo by Kevin Frayer/Getty Images)

Sama seperti di Australia, nyamuk di sini juga disuntik bakteri Wolbachia untuk menghasilkan nyamuk super. Nyamuk ini tidak lagi menularkan penyakit baik itu DBD, zika atau chikungunya. Foto: Kevin Frayer/Getty Images

Nyamuk super dari peternakan ini dilepas di Pulau Shazai, China. Nyamuk ini akan kawin dengan nyamuk liar dan menularkan bakteri Wolbachia. Jika kena bakteri ini, nyamuk akan kehilangan kemampuan menularkan penyakit. Foto: Kevin Frayer/Getty Images

Wadah ini berisi bakteri Wolbachia. Bakteri ini ada pada 70% serangga dunia dan tidak berbahaya untuk manusia. Namun, bakteri ini tidak ada pada nyamuk Aedes aegypti secara alami, sehingga harus ditularkan secara sengaja di laboratorium. Foto: Blog Bill Gates

8 Tahun telah berlalu sejak kunjungan Bill Gates ke Yogyakarta. Menurut Bill Gates, penelitian nyamuk di Yogyakarta telah sukses berkembang. Ini adalah foto ember telur nyamuk yang sudah diberi bakteri Wolbachia, dari peternakan nyamuk, pada Juli 2022 lalu di Bantul. Foto: Pradito Rida Pertana/detikJateng
