Give mosquito net incentive to curb dengue, Government urged

KUALA LUMPUR: The Government is urged to provide incentive to the people for installing mosquito nets in their homes and premises to curb the Aedes mosquitoes that cause dengue fever.

Universiti Malaya Tropical Infectious Diseases Research and Education Centre (TIDREC) director Professor Dr Sazaly Abu Bakar said such an incentive would encourage the public to set up the net that was seen as more effective in curbing mosquitoes than the fogging method.
