The Rapid NS1 antigen test is quite accurate and supposed to be inexpensive. It should be around Rs 250 or less with the Indian test strips. (can anyone let us know the actual cost please)All the past Governments didn't take any real proactive steps - other than to pass the buck on to the people. Of course, keeping your home environment clean and free of  stagnant water minimises the mosquito breeding . They were talking about other means like Cuban BTI methods etc, which never materialised. According to the Colombo grapevine, the real reason is that the Mosquito coil industry is supposedly a Rs Billion business. Of course they were paying commissions to a Minister who was well known to take a share from everything. Sales of coils is directly proportional to the Dengue cases.<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/oo.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":oo:" title="Oo    :oo:" data-shortname=":oo:" />There is only one way to reduce or to stop dengue. It's not by eradicating the mosquito. No way now we get rid of them. The effective way is to isolate the patient. Sadly it might not be possible or practical do so. The mosquito is only the carrier. If they don't have a payload to carry, that changes the game. We keep the dengue patients in open wards, the mosquitoes bite them in hoards and also bite others in the hospital and surrounding areas and spread he disease.<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/angry.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":angry:" title="Angry    :angry:" data-shortname=":angry:" /></blockquote>
