... that the Indonesian scientist Adi Utarini(pictured) found that releasing Wolbachia-carrying mosquitoes reduced dengue cases by 77% in a randomized controlled trial? Source: "Utarini and her colleagues have managed to cut cases of dengue fever by 77% in parts of a large Indonesian city by releasing mosquitoes that had been modified to stop them from transmitting the virus... The project was the first randomized controlled trial — the gold standard in clinical research — of a completely new approach to controlling dengue. The technique breeds Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which transmit the dengue, ..., such that they carry a bacterium called Wolbachia. The bacterium subdues the viruses and prevents the mosquitoes from passing them on to humans. Eggs from the modified mosquitoes are then placed around the city, often in people’s homes." Nature)
ALT1:... that Adi Utarini(pictured) seeks to fight dengue by releasing mosquitoes in a large city? Ref: Same as above. Maybe for April Fools' Day
ALT2:... that Adi Utarini(pictured) was listed as one of Nature's 10 in 2020 after she released infected mosquitoes all over Yogyakarta? Ref: Same as above. Maybe for April Fools' Day. "Infected" here refers to infection by Wolbachia
Comment: Checking if Juxlos (Indonesian bio DYK hook expert ) has a better hook idea, given that the approach of the subject's research is quite interesting. HaEr48 (talk) 21:19, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This interesting article is new enough and long enough, and the image is in the public domain. The hook facts are cited inline and any of the hooks could be used, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:51, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
