But we've been doing that for the last 70 years and we see the dengue incidence increasing.
So that alone is not going to be effective.
We need better vector control methods.
And there are other new novel techniques like spatial repellents coming in.
The other one is a vaccine.
So the good thing is we now have two dengue vaccines and many others undergoing phase three clinical trials.
But still, despite these things, there will be people who still get, you know, symptomatic dengue, need hospitalisation.
So all these strategies need to come together to find long lasting solutions for dengue.
Professor Nilika Malavige, who was speaking to Anne Soy.
Now, you may have heard the term biological age.
That's how quickly our cells are ageing and the overall state of our health, quite independent of the number of years that you've been alive for.
Well, a new study just published in the journal Nature suggests that we are biologically ageing faster than our parents.
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St.
Louis are now questioning whether this could explain a rise in early-onset cancers.
Dr. Anisha Patel was diagnosed with bowel cancer at a young age and was involved in the study.
This is a big study that's done in the UK and the US, 160,000 people.
And what they did was they analysed blood samples and looked for various markers in the body to do with the immune system, to do with the chronic inflammation, to look at wear and tear of the cells.
And they have got a calculator called PhenoAge, which sort of works out
the individual's biological age.
And then they associated this with those of us that are born in more recent generations.
