Bill Gates The Gates Foundation has given $2 billion worth of grants over the past two decades to fight malaria, according to Business Insider. A larger study, between May and October of this year, tested the insects' population-suppressing powers.

Scientists have long debated how and when to carry out the first test release of transgenic mosquitoes designed to fight human diseasea landmark study they imagined might trigger fierce resistance from opponents of genetic engineering.
