Mosquitoes

In the bustling urban environment of Singapore, the Aedes aegypti mosquito has emerged as a formidable foe. Notably, in 2019, a significant spike in the mosquito population, fueled by increased temperatures, led to a staggering fivefold rise in dengue cases, tragically resulting in five fatalities.

The lifecycle of an Aedes mosquito is alarmingly brief, maturing from larvae to adults in just 8 to 10 days. Warmer climates hasten this development, shortening the incubation period of the dengue virus they harbour. This reality underscores the critical nature of adopting preventive strategies and over-reactive solutions such as mosquito repellents and nets.

An eye-opening 60% of mosquito breeding grounds are found within residential spaces, highlighting the crucial need for vigilance and proactive engagement in mosquito deterrence and elimination at all life stages.

Introducing the Zika virus in the region adds another layer of urgency to the mosquito menace in Singapore. Currently lacking a definitive cure, this virus presents symptoms such as fever, joint pain, and rashes. For expectant mothers, the implications are even more dire, leading to birth defects in their newborns.

In response to escalating concerns regarding mosquito-related pest control due to climate changes and the proliferation of breeding sites, IKARI has stepped into the spotlight. A recent interview showcased our team deploying the innovative in2care product, which ingeniously turns the mosquito's biology against itself. This two-pronged approach involves infecting the mosquito with a slow-acting biological fungus and a larvicide.

While the fungus gradually eliminates the mosquito and hampers the replication of the Dengue virus, the mosquito inadvertently disperses the larvicide to other breeding sites, effectively targeting even the most inaccessible locations. This strategy exploits the Aedes mosquito's tendency to lay eggs in multiple locations, ensuring the larvicide is effectively spread across various water bodies.
