'Bugged mosquitoes' stop Zika spread

Infecting mosquitoes with bacteria could help stop them spreading Zika, an early Brazilian study suggests. Scientists deliberately gave mosquitoes the Wolbachia bug and then later exposed them to Zika virus. They found mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia had less Zika virus in them and in some cases the virus had been deactivated. They say with more work, the approach could be one way to prevent mosquitoes passing Zika on to humans.
