Public health response to addressing the problem.

Mordecai, an assistant professor of biology at Stanford’s School of Humanities and Sciences in his review about anticipated rise of some mosquito- borne diseases states that “development of accurate point of care diagnostics for dengue and chikungunya viruses and community-based mosquito control measures, such as trash removal and covering standing water will be increasingly important for targeted care and prevention.
