KUALA LUMPUR: The release of Wolbachia-infected Aedes mosquitoes has led to a 50 to 80 per cent drop in dengue cases in several outbreak areas in Selangor, the Dewan Rakyat was told.
Yep, it’s great news. Dengue has been plaguing my country for ages, those who get it will tell you stories of how tough it is to get through, because it doesn’t have any cure.
I haven’t heard of that case before, i don’t think it’s documented. What i heard is there’s like a few variant(4? 6?) of the virus, where you will be immuned to the one you recovered from, but not the other variant. So you can only get it for a few times, assuming you can survive all.
Edit: just checked, 4 confirmed type, and lifelong immunity.
Yeah that’s what people have told me. But I never understood it either. Afaik there are 4 variants, but when you get stung by a certain other kind of one of the variants can cause complications iirc.

And it [the fever sickness] sometimes comes back they say. Is this true, or do they get bitten again?
