Scientists from CONICET test an innovative strategy to combat the mosquito that transmits dengue fever

Researchers from the Argentine National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) have developed an experimental strategy to combat the Aedes aegypti mosquito. The findings, recently published in the journal V, focus on a method designed to reduce the survival rate of the insect population.

By limiting the lifespan of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, scientists aim to curb the transmission of several significant viral diseases, including dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever. This research represents a new approach in public health efforts to control the vectors responsible for these illnesses.
