Mosquito Factory in the UK Oxitec Announces Plans

A British company is opening a Mosquito Factory in Milton Keynes, England, to grow the Aedes mosquito, known for carrying the diseases yellow fever and Zika.The manufacturer says that its new plans will have a profound effect on the wild population and help prevent the spread of these diseases. It is also raising PS7 million in funding to build the factory.


Oxitec’s new factory will use genetic engineering to create a mosquito that doesn’t bite people. The company’s male Aedes aegypti mosquito is non-biting and mates with wild female mosquitoes, enabling it to kill a large portion of a population without affecting the humans. The eggs from the new facility will then be shipped to various affected areas worldwide.

The company has previously announced plans to open a factory in the UK and is now raising funds to expand its existing production line. Expanding their facility hopes to double their egg production and meet the demand for mosquito-control programs worldwide. The Oxfordshire-based firm plans to create more than 75 jobs.


This unit will be the world’s first mosquito-production unit, and it’s expected to create around seventy new jobs. The company will use the mutated Aedes aegypti mosquito to make female Aedes Egyptian mosquitoes non-biting.

The resulting male, Aedes Aegyptus female, will mate with a modified male and pass on the gene to the next generation. The factory will be situated in Milton Park, Oxfordshire, and will create at least seventy new jobs.

 It aims to reduce the wild Aedes aegypti mosquito population by 90%. The company’s goal is to produce a GMO mosquito that will kill the virus’s offspring before they mature and subsequently kill them before they can reproduce.

The Oxitec factory will be located in Oxfordshire, UK, and will be able to fulfill the growing global demand for its genetically engineered Aedes mosquitoes. These insects have been developed in Brazil and Panama and are used to suppress the Aedes aegypti population.Oxitec’s new Mosquito Factory will produce more than a billion mosquito eggs per week. This facility will be able to supply the growing global demand for Aedes aegypti control programs.

Further, the company has plans to use the UK facility to mass-produce its GM Aedes mosquitoes. It will also use its own patented GMO technology to increase the production of these GM products.


Oxitec is a leading developer of patented genetically modified mosquitoes in the UK. The company was founded in 2002 in Oxford, UK, and is led by a passionate team of 15 nationalities.

The company has a high 2-week rolling average of 98%, an individual weekly high of 98%, and a four-week rolling average of 92%. It is a unique opportunity to invest in a company at the forefront of biological pest control solutions.

The UK has become an important market for mosquito control. The company is one of the pioneers in using GM technologies to fight the mosquitoes that infect humans. The company has partnered with the University of Oxford for its GM project. The plans for the factory are ambitious, but it is a necessary step towards meeting global health challenges. The UK has become a global leader in biological pest control and has developed its technology.


The company has been involved in mosquito control for more than ten years. The company’s non-biting Aedes aegypti has reduced dengue cases in Brazil and other affected areas. The non-biting male is a viable solution to mosquito problems and can reduce the cost of traditional insect release by 90%. The UK government also aims to make the new facility more environmentally friendly.
