Wolbachia is a bacterium that can make mosquitoes much less able to spread diseases like dengue & Zika. Using a new mathematical model, this #RSOS paper identifies the minimum “critical bubble’’ of released #mosquitoes needed for Wolbachia to establish across a landscape: doi.org/10.1098/rsos...
Dengue is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes, mainly Aedes aegypti .Unlike malaria mosquitoes, these mosquitoes are most active during the daytime.
Protect yourself by avoiding mosquito bite. Together,we can reduce the spread of dengue and protect our communities.

Although scientists have known for decades that bug zappers do not control mosquitoes, gullible Americans buy 1.75 million of them every year. To help get the word out I thought I'd create a more exha...
