Could this method eliminate mosquito-borne viruses in Jamaica? (Video)
Unbeknown to many is the fact that mosquitoes are the most dangerous animals on the planet.
In fact, the mosquito has claimed more lives than any other creature in human history.
According to the World Health Organization, mosquito bites result in the deaths of more than 1 million people every year.
Currently, the most popular method of reducing the mosquito population in Jamaica (fogging) does not appear to be very effective.
The mosquito-borne virus Chikungunya has been swiftly spreading throughout every nook and cranny in the island.
In the highly informative video below, you will be introduced to a rather ingenious method of drastically reducing mosquito populations.
Do you think the presenter’s proposed method could be viable in Jamaica? Let us know in the comments.
Guess its worth a try..and if it was tested in Cayman, y not get some report from Cayman and see what it was all about……
Excellent…….and a totally feasible approach to eliminating the mosquito. This video was made in 2012 and it would be interesting to see a follow up, now two years have passed, to see how successful these trials have been in the original selected countries
this is what i was proposing as the solution to this mosquito’s spread ! Kelly Muirhead
I had dengue fever while I was living in Jamaica 2 years ago and it was a very nasty experience. This method seems very sensible and i would imagine a cheaper way of eliminating mosquito’s plus being safer to the population. Don’t think the pharmacuetical companies would be too happy about it though, less profits from selling the chemicals at extortionate prices as they do all their drugs. If the Jamaican government want tourists to come to Jamaica spend some money where it will do the most good and keep the money coming in to this beautiful Island and their… Read more »
It will be a challenge because we could not eliminate the screwworm flies, which were successful in other countries.
the screwworm eradication programme was successful in other countries
yea man try it

i think this is the same idea that got us were we are now scientist developed one thing to get ride of another in return develop something worse
jamaica….need a method like that
Let’s try this.
Yes, bio-engineering can work! How can we convince the powers that be to join the programme? It needs proper planning and execution, surely we can achieve that as well as cleaning up the environment?
this is how chikungunya began
I’VE been saying this FOR A LONG WHILE NOW
yes we need it
