Spread of engineered microorganisms (EM) into wild mosquitoes. EM can be directly offered to winged adults through a baited trap or encapsulated and seeded or oviposited into water to contaminate aquatic juvenile forms. Females containing EM can also contaminate eggs laid on land, enabling vertical transmission. The selected bacterial species should preferably remain in the different stages of mosquito development or even be transmitted horizontally within this host. In this way, EM can remain permanently and cyclically in the environment
