There exists a proven homegrown method of combating dengue that may be safer than releasing millions of genetically modified mosquitoes into the environment, as the government plans to do this month. The alternative method uses Mousticide, a product of Malaysian-based biotechnological company EntoGenex. It was tested in one of the country’s most dengue-prone areas early this year and the result was more than gratifying, the company’s chairman, Tunku Naquiyuddin Ja'afar, told FMT recently.
