Was a thing back in 2007,research paid for by Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, then patent was shelved. I thought it would be an indefinitely shelving, but maybe they think they can make more money from it now? Back then it was conceived for aid in poor countries. Maybe climate change has made other countries hot enough for mosquitoes to be a problem in countries with money.
