Summary

We cannot escape disease carried by mosquitoes all over the world.  There are a lot of epidemic of disease. For example, chikugunya and malaria and so on. Although we want to wipe them out because of preventing the disease from spreading, removing mosquitoes could have a disastrous effect on an ecosystem – problem of detritus in the water and useful job of pollination. There are some methods of controling mosquito numbers. In this situation, according to Prof Hilary Ranson,  we need to use an evidence base to then target the breeding sites with things we know will work.

Opinion

Although the most important thing is to reduce the high toll of mosquito-borne disease, protecting an ecosystem is important thing, too. So  we should try to make a vaccine. TV news said that the government did not make a vaccine because the number of victim was still few. The government started to make a vaccine after epidemic of the disease caused by mosquitoes.  It means that the government focus on benefit more than redusing the victims. This is not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster.
