In this short film, hear how Oxford-based firm Oxitec are pioneering a molecular biology approach to generate genetically sterilised mosquitoes as a means of preventing the spread of Dengue infection. The team have received a Translation Award to support controlled open field trials of their technology in Malaysia.
A film made in collaboration with Barry J Gibb

My family was once victum 2 years back. Was so painful. That's year number of cases had been reported again

Is this approach being tested in the case of Malaria, another mosquito-borne disease?

You shared very good information. My uncle had dengue. He felt that now he will not be able to survive. He went to many hospitals but could not recover. Then someone called him about Planet Ayurveda. He went there and got his treatment started, now he is fine. If you have this type of problem or any other type of health problem. you should go to Planet Ayurveda.

@UskaGrazia Let them do it. These third world countries are a good laboratory. Think about the possibilities for population control by killing human populations through genetically modified vectors.

I thought Oxitec was a business, not a charitable organization? Aedes aegypti is not the only vector for dengue, so I don't understand why helping a country such as Panama (with both aegypti and albopictus transmitting dengue) to eliminate one species isn't just setting the people up to have to pay you guys to create one for albopictus down the road? Doing this halfway will give genetic engineering a bad rap as being only effective for a limited time =(
