Bacteria keeping up the fight against dengue
An international team of scientists has successfully deployed bacteria to reduce dengue cases by 40% in areas of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where the disease is rife.
They achieved this using a new strain of the Wolbachia bacteria, known as wAlbB, that was able to survive the temperatures of 36 degrees Celsius and higher commonly experienced in the area.
