Controlling Dengue fever, improving lives | A film by the Wellcome Trust

Dengue is a potentially fatal disease spread by infected female mosquitoes of the Aedes aegypti species. Bed nets are of little use because this species of mosquito also bites during the day. With no vaccine and more than 2.5 billion people worldwide at risk of infection, new methods to prevent the spread of this debilitating disease are urgently needed.

In this short film, hear how Oxford-based firm Oxitec are pioneering a molecular biology approach to generate genetically sterilised mosquitoes as a means of preventing the spread of Dengue infection. The team have received a Translation Award to support controlled open field trials of their technology in Malaysia.

We do not need depopulation, i wouldnt fallow any research about overpopulated theory cose is a bullshit and with the National Defense Authorization Act soon u will be depopulated & we as a humand kind with our state of mind we r a parasites, killing, destroying, polluting and its cose we r ignorant, brainwashed zombie nation trick into believing that government & organizations are here to help us and do everything 4 us and this is what they want zombie to controll

@UskaGrazia Depopulation is necessary. Humans are a plague. According to the Optimum Population Trust (OPT), 77 out of 130 countries that have been studied can be classified as “overpopulated" - most in Europe and Asia.

i know its the real reason behind it... depopulate human kind they dont give a shit about us its just an excuse, hidden agenda another one of many small pieces of NWO

[WarmongerWW3]

@UskaGrazia Let them do it. These third world countries are a good laboratory. Think about the possibilities for population control by killing human populations through genetically modified vectors.

and what consequences playing in GOD by OXITEC that will have, those are genetically modified mutants, who gave the right 2 do so!!! What is gonna happen with all the eco system did u even think about that!!! Every single living creature on this planet is a PART OF ECO SYSTEM WHO THE FUCK ARE U 2 decide about it without asking everybody on this planet whats their opinion!!!!

Why dont you just kill all of them ?
