A bid to neutralise the dengue mosquito

Published On: Monday, November 14, 2011

LAST WEEK, the talk in some quarters was that dengue fever had been banished forever from the Caymans. Of course, the next rumble was: If the Caymans can do it, why not the Bahamas?

That's where we should slow down and do some thinking.

The Caymans is now undergoing a controlled scientific experiment that shows great promise -- that is if there is no adverse fall-out from man's attempt once again to tweak nature.

While the Bahamas had more than 1,500 persons with dengue-like symptoms this summer, last month the Caymans reported its first local case, explaining that it was "most probably imported from the Bahamas by a returning resident".

Although the dengue carrying mosquito (aedes aegyptii) is in the Caymans, it has not been active. It is said that dengue fever is not endemic to those islands.
