PETALING JAYA: A new anti-dengue kit will be distributed to communities in three states with the highest recorded number of cases this year.
A total of 100,000 kits – each containing a Mousticide biolarvicide that kills aedes larvae, a Denguard mosquito repellent and ALOT Aedes Larvae Ovitrap that traps mosquitoes into breeding in the treated water and kills the larvae – will be given out.
The kits are part of the Dengue-Free Community programme, launched by the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry in collaboration with Inno Biologies and Entogenex.
The two companies, which are responsible in providing the technology used in the programme, will be overseeing the implementation of the project.
Minister Datuk Dr Ewon Ebin called the collaboration a positive step for the country’s biotechnology industry.
“I am very proud to see local organisations that are far sighted and innovative in coming up with environmentally friendly solutions to problems faced by the community,” he said in his speech, which was read out by the ministry deputy secretary-general (Science) Dr Zulkifli Mohamed Hashim yesterday.
A dengue-free squad, he said, would also be set up in high-risk neighbourhoods with the help of the local councils and which would be trained to use the kit to combat the scourge.
The kits will be distributed in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Johor between this month and September.
Organisers claimed that they were expecting a 100% success rate from the programme, adding that they estimated to see results within a month.
Entogenex executive director Tunku Naquiyuddin Tuanku Jaafar said the products had been sold in Singapore and Philippines, where it had shown good results.
“The programme is holistic and very targeted in combating dengue. We will be using a four step plan, known as REAP – reduce, educate, activate and prevent,” he said.
He said while the Government could introduce many programmes to fight against dengue, the community still played a big role.
“The onus is on the community to ensure that their backyard is not a breeding ground,” he said.
