It seems while US have superman, now we, malaysia now have super aedes mosquito. It has evolved into a super resistant menace with the research done by Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) entomologist Prof Abu Hassan Ahmad.
Its new superpowers include special protection for its eggs to survive for up to six months without a drop of water . It also can change its immune system, enabling the insect to adapt to the chemical and shield itself from poisonous effects from fogging. It complements the existing arsenal of the dengue carrying insect. It is has cause an epidemic in Malaysia via its suicide/kamikaze attacks killing man, woman and children of all walks and life distingushing neither race or age. Its dengue attack with have no cure except blood transfusion and weeks of hell on bed.
To counter its ability, government resort to mosquito genocide by using larvicidal biological weapon Bti (bacillus thuringiensis israeliensis) equivalent to Japanese Sarin gas to humans.
