DESCRIPTION (EN)

Aedes aegypti mosquitoes that live in their bodies live in Wolbachia bacteria being bred in captivity in the entomology laboratory of the World Mosquito Program (WMP) Yogyakarta. Mosquitoes that appear are female mosquitoes that are full after being given bloodfeeding by a laboratory officer, Budi Ariyanto, Monday (2/9). Since 2011 WMP Yogyakarta has conducted research for suppress the number of cases of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and then followed by releasing wolbachia mosquitoes in the city of Yogyakarta. When mosquitoes in Yogyakarta are infected with the Wolbachia bacteria, the number of dengue fever decreases because this bacterium can suppress the replication of the dengue virus in the body of the Aedes aegypti mosquito which is a vector of DHF transmission. - JP / Bambang Muryanto / Adi / 19
