Aerial spraying to curb Zika and why we should consider it to combat Chikungunya and Dengue
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) in the US finally resorted to what it knows best, control an epidemic. This time they used a bazooka to hunt a fly literally. On September the 10th after more than 50 cases of local transmission of Zika in Florida, the CDC and the Miami-Dade county took the decision to drop Naled from the skies in order to kill the Aedes Agypti Mosquito which spreads Zika. Naled is an organophosphate insecticide. Its chemical name is dimethyl 1,2-dibromo-2,2-dichloroethylphosphate. Naled is stable in anhydrous condition and must be stored away from light. It must also be stored under normal pressure and temperatures. (Source: Wikipedia)
