An expert panel has recommended that Singapore explore the use of male mosquitoes carrying a type of bacteria known as Wolbachia in the fight against dengue fever, the National Environment Agency said on Friday.
The diet of a small Malaysian spider could hold the key to curbing the spread of some of the world's worst human diseases, such as malaria, according to research by New Zealand, Singaporean, Chinese and Malaysian scientists.
Mosquitoes infected with a type of bacteria may be used to stop the spread of malaria as they show signs of resistance to the parasite that causes the disease, according to a new study published online in the U.S. journal Science.
