Today on The Positive Impact , Kavishan Dissanayake discuss on a novel concept of mitigating Dengue menace in Sri Lanka with the representatives of The National Dengue Control Unit - Dr. Indika Weerasinghe & Dr. Lahiru Kodithuwakku.
In July 2017, the World Mosquito Program established a research partnership with the Sri Lankan Ministry of Health through the National Dengue Control Unit to examine new, more effective ways to protect communities from mosquito-borne diseases.
Supported by the Australian Government, the primary goal of this project was to pilot the implementation of the Wolbachia method in Sri Lanka. It is a novel low-cost and self-sustaining method for the prevention of mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue, Zika, chikungunya and yellow fever.
The Wolbachia method is not an emergency measure, but rather a long-term, self-sustaining solution to reducing mosquito-borne diseases.
