Health Ministry confirms 41 locally transmitted Zika cases

Yahoo Singapore
The lifespan of mosquitoes are very short - about 2 weeks.
Thus to prevent dengue fever, zika and mosquitoes related diseases :-
(1) Prevent mosquitoes lay eggs or hatching eggs.
(2) Eradicate all female mosquitoes or wait out for female mosquitoes to die a natural death within 2 weeks (prevent them from sucking blood and breeding).
If successful to do the above 2, there will be no dengue fever, zika and mosquitoes related diseases.
But easier say then done.
The introduction of male mosquito that can prevent female mosquitoes eggs from hatching ---- if successful will do precisely the above 2.
Only then can mosquitoes threat be greatly reduced and eradicated.
