Sri Lanka is under the grip of a severe epidemic of Dengue fever and Dengue haemorrhagic fever.
The enemy is the dengue virus and not the mosquito. In order to eliminate dengue, we need to eliminate the virus. The mosquito only “transports” the virus acquired from a dengue patient.
Therefore, the correct strategy is to isolate the dengue patient from mosquito bites. 50% isolation will eliminate dengue in 4 months.
