Singapore's Wolbachia mosquito project now covers over half of households

سنگاپور کا وولباکیا مچھر منصوبہ اب آدھے سے زیادہ گھرانوں تک پہنچ گیا

सिंगापुर की वोल्बाचिया मच्छर परियोजना अब आधे से अधिक घरों तक पहुँच गई

Singapore's Wolbachia mosquito project now covers over half of households

Key points

اہم نکات

मुख्य बातें

  • Ten years after it began, Singapore's Project Wolbachia — which controls dengue by releasing male mosquitoes carrying the Wolbachia bacteria — now covers more than 840,000 households, or 53 percent of all households in the country.
  • Research published in February found mosquito populations fell by 80 to 90 percent in covered areas and dengue risk for residents fell by over 70 percent, and cases hit a seven-year low of 4,036 in 2025, down from 13,651 in 2024.
  • Cases in the first three quarters of 2026 totalled 2,564, down 25 percent on a year earlier, although the third quarter rose sharply on the previous quarter and the DENV-3 strain is now dominant.
  • دس سال بعد سنگاپور کا وولباکیا منصوبہ — جس میں ڈینگی پر قابو کے لیے وولباکیا بیکٹیریا والے نر مچھر چھوڑے جاتے ہیں — اب 840,000 سے زیادہ گھرانوں، یعنی ملک کے 53 فیصد گھرانوں تک پہنچ گیا ہے۔ فروری میں شائع تحقیق کے مطابق متاثرہ علاقوں میں مچھروں کی تعداد 80 سے 90 فیصد کم ہوئی اور رہائشیوں میں ڈینگی کا خطرہ 70 فیصد سے زیادہ گھٹا، اور 2025 میں کیسز 13,651 سے کم ہو کر 4,036 رہ گئے جو سات سال کی کم ترین سطح ہے۔ 2026 کے پہلے تین سہ ماہیوں میں 2,564 کیسز ہوئے جو ایک سال پہلے سے 25 فیصد کم ہیں، اگرچہ تیسری سہ ماہی میں اضافہ ہوا اور ڈینگی کی ڈی ای این وی-3 قسم اب غالب ہے۔
  • शुरू होने के दस साल बाद सिंगापुर की प्रोजेक्ट वोल्बाचिया — जिसमें डेंगू पर नियंत्रण के लिए वोल्बाचिया बैक्टीरिया वाले नर मच्छर छोड़े जाते हैं — अब 840,000 से अधिक घरों, यानी देश के 53 प्रतिशत घरों तक पहुँच गई है। फरवरी में प्रकाशित शोध के अनुसार प्रभावित क्षेत्रों में मच्छरों की संख्या 80 से 90 प्रतिशत घटी और निवासियों में डेंगू का जोखिम 70 प्रतिशत से अधिक कम हुआ, और 2025 में मामले 13,651 से घटकर 4,036 रह गए, जो सात साल का सबसे निचला स्तर है। 2026 की पहली तीन तिमाहियों में 2,564 मामले हुए, जो एक साल पहले से 25 प्रतिशत कम हैं, हालाँकि तीसरी तिमाही में बढ़ोतरी हुई और डेंगू का डीईएनवी-3 प्रकार अब प्रमुख है।
