Singapore rears moquitoes infected with Wolbachia bacteria to combat dengue

I&#x27;ve had dengue fever. There are a few different strains and I had one of the milder ones but it was still enough to put me in the hospital for dehydration as an otherwise healthy 20yo.<p>In Thai it&#x27;s known as hemorrhagic fever, but unlike in English, where &quot;hemorrhagic&quot; is a technical term where the meaning isn&#x27;t clear or is softened, in Thai it&#x27;s just three simple Thai words: ไข้เลือดออก, &quot;fever [that makes] blood [come] out&quot;. Luckily I didn&#x27;t have any hemorrhaging.

Truly a fascinating method. Apparently, the most effective mosquito population control technique.<p>The counter-point argument offered at the end of the article&#x2F;video is totally lame. I find it slightly annoying when journos feel compelled to seek contrarian positions just for the sake of form, regardless of the quality of the arguments.

&quot;in rare cases&quot;<p>My mom nearly died to Dengue fever. Twice. This shit is incredibly dangerous.

Wolbachia is one of the most fascinating and scariest life forms on earth

For those looking for more info on the project, here&#x27;s the local agency&#x27;s website on the project [1]<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nea.gov.sg&#x2F;corporate-functions&#x2F;resources&#x2F;research&#x2F;wolbachia-aedes-mosquito-suppression-strategy" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nea.gov.sg&#x2F;corporate-functions&#x2F;resources&#x2F;researc...</a>

Hard not to think about that Simpsons episode when you read about stuff like this...
