A Malaysian Laboratory has released 6 000, genetically modified mosquitoes into a forest, attempting to fight dengue fever.

The test, is thought, will make it possible for genetically engineered Aedes aegypti male mosquitoes to hopefully mate with females, producing no offspring, or at least offspring with shorter lives, and so reducing the mosquito population. Only the female members of the species spread dengue fever, which last year, caused 134 deaths in Malaysia.

The research has ignited criticism from Malaysian environmentalists, who say researches may have overlooked possible outcomes of the experiment, such as the creation of uncontrollable, mutant mosquitoes. Other criticisms included the idea that the killing off of mosquitoes could leave a void in the ecosystem, making room for other insects to in

What are the symptoms that we have identified? Dengue in infants and children who are still small often begins with symptoms of a viral illness, fever, runny nose, cough and rash. Older children often experience symptoms similar to those experienced typical adult fever, pain in the eyes and joints red and white blotchy skin.

This may be followed by loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting,

itching in the feet, feeling very weak during illness and after recovery weak.troduce new, unknown, deadly diseases.

There is no specific medicine to treat dengue infection. If you think you may have dengue fever, you should use pain relievers with acetaminophen and avoid medicines with aspirin, which could worsen bleeding. You should also rest, drink plenty of fluids, and see your doctor. If you start to feel worse in the first 24 hours after your fever goes down, you should get to a hospital immediately to be checked for complications.
