Indonesian researchers have claimed that dengue mosquitoes infected with a specific bacteria help in reducing the spread of the deadly dengue virus by

Infecting the mosquitoes with a different bug slams the breaks on dengue fever, trial finds.

­Introducing mosquitoes infected with the Wolbachia bacteria to parts of an Indonesian city reduced the incidence of dengue by 77% and cases of the disease requiring treatment in hospital by 86%, according to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

An experiment to infect mosquitoes with bacteria that stop them from transmitting viruses appears to have helped reduced the spread of deadly dengue virus in Indonesia, researchers reported Wednesday.

Scientists say a "miraculous" bacteria has shown great promise in tackling the threat from one of the world's most dangerous creatures: the Aedes aegypti mosquito....

Researchers say Wolbachia bacteria method cuts dengue by 77% in trial

The results of a randomised controlled trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine today show that the incidence of dengue was reduced by 77%...

An experiment to infect mosquitoes with bacteria that stop them from transmitting viruses appears to have helped reduced the spread of deadly dengue virus in Indonesia, researchers reported Wednesday.

Scientists hope they are a step closer to eradicating dengue fever following a successful trial in Indonesia that saw cases fall by 77 per cent, by manipulating the mosquitoes that spread it.

DISCOVERIES OF 2020 A novel use of bacteria could blunt the spread of dengue and other mosquito-borne diseases. by David Bumke The COVID-19 pandemic brought a vast mobilization of scientific ingenuity. At the same time, work on other medical threats continued to push forward. This week, Proto looks at the most transformational non-COVID-19 research of 2020. Dengue is a brutal foe, threatening 40% of the global population and a leading cause of...
