I agree with agooga.
Too bad the 'green anti-DDT folks' do not LIVE where no-DDT would affect them. In fact, WHY did they get to call the shots on this? Surely the Public Health people don't think that no-DDT is a good solution.
"The global solution to dengue outbreaks is mosquito control, and faltering eradication efforts, together with climate change, probably share blame for dengue's rise in the Americas, Kuri said.
A successful eradication program in Latin America in the 1960s sent the disease into remission, but economic crises and government downsizing sapped those efforts over the next two decades. Some countries reported severe outbreaks in the 1980s, and by the 1990s, dengue began a regional resurgence. "
