- Additional information
- Joint research involving academia and a research centre Fiocruz (https://portal.fiocruz.br/) aiming to tackle Dengue disease. Dengue's mosquito is responsible for transmitting other diseases as Yellow Fever and Zika. Dengue kills millions in Brazil every year and developing a mixed control strategy alternating insecticide and the release of sterile mosquito in the environment to control the mosquito population is paramount. The financial cost was compared to the Brazilian Program for Controlling Dengue (PNCD) guidelines showing it was a viable alternative. The work has been taken up in local government (https://prefeitura.pbh.gov.br/saude/informacoes/vigilancia/vigilancia-epidemiologica/doencas-transmissiveis/dengue) and similar nationwide actions can be seen (https://g1.globo.com/jornal-nacional/noticia/2019/12/20/para-combater-a-dengue-350-mil-mosquitos-estereis-sao-soltos-no-ar.ghtml).
