  4. Recordatorio irregular: hay una técnica de control biológico contra el mosquito que transmite el dengue y otras pestes MUY efectiva, ya ensayada en Indonesia, Colombia y Brasil.

    Y si tuviéramos un gobierno mínimamente decente, se podría haber combinado con un juicioso plan de vacunación para atajar esta epidemia del carajo.

    Sí, esta asistencia técnica también vamos a tener que importarla, a lo mejor incluso los mismos mosquitos troyanizados, en lugar de desarrollar y producir acá.

    "Abstract

    Background: The mosquito Aedes aegypti transmits two of the most serious mosquito-borne viruses, dengue virus (DENV) and Zika virus (ZIKV), which results in significant human morbidity and mortality worldwide. The quickly shifting landscapes of DENV and ZIKV endemicity worldwide raise concerns that their co-circulation through the Ae. aegypti mosquito vector could greatly exacerbate the disease burden in humans. Recent reports have indicated an increase in the number of co-infection cases in expanding co-endemic regions; however, the impact of co-infection on viral infection and the detailed molecular mechanisms remain to be defined.

    Conclusions: Our results suggest that DENV2 and ZIKV simultaneously establishing infection in the Ae. aegypti mosquito vector may augment one another during replication. The data also implicate the homologous NS5 protein as a key intersection between the flaviviruses in co-infection, highlighting it as a potential target for vector control."

  9. Why Dengue Outbreaks Are Becoming Larger and Less Predictable

    Although no one is certain about what’s driving the increase and instability of dengue, climate change may be contributing as much of the world is getting both warmer and wetter.

  10. After years of careful planning, Rafael Maciel de Freitas and his team couldn't understand why their groundbreaking #mosquito control programme was failing just a few weeks in.
