Site prioritisation for Wolbachia expansion is based on the assessed dengue risk of the area, which includes factors, such as the historical dengue situation, current Aedes aegypti mosquito population and the size and landscape of the area. The National Environment Agency will continue to monitor the dengue situation and update stakeholders on any new release areas for Project Wolbachia.
