Trial gives hope for better control of mosquito-borne disease outbreaks ANI | Updated: Feb 03, 2021 10:34 IST
Washington [US], February 3 (ANI): An international study, led by QIMR Berghofer researchers, has shown that a new device that targets Aedes aegypti mosquitos could be extremely useful in the fight against mosquito-borne diseases such as Dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika.
The randomised field trial used small, insecticide-treated, plastic mesh devices called emanators to target Aedes aegypti mosquitos in homes in the state of Yucatan in Mexico. QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute in Queensland coordinated the trial in partnership with colleagues at the Universidad Autonoma de Yucatan in Mexico and Emory University in the United States.
