This is one innovation that can take the sting out of mosquito bites. Eco BioTraps (EBT), a Pune-based startup, has come up with a population reduction device designed to break the mosquito breeding chain and prevent diseases such as dengue, malaria, chikungunya, zika and other vector-borne illnesses.
So as long as there is water on the planet, mosquitoes are going to breed. And if they are going to breed, we are going to bleed. So what are we doing about it?
Mitigating Climate Change issues with public health , in a safe and sustainable way is the future and only innovation can solve it.
In a country plagued by mosquito-borne diseases, India faces a daunting challenge. Each year, millions of cases of diseases like dengue, malaria, and chikungunya are reported, posing a significant threat to public health.
Dengue cases have been exploding in many states across India in the past few weeks, with hundreds of new patients seeking treatment every passing day.
Developed by Prasad Phadke and his team based out of Ahmedabad, the Eco BioTrap is a 'Made in India' device, which is more affordable than electric vapourisers, mosquito repellents, and coils. It effectively disrupts the mosquito breeding cycle, helping prevent diseases like dengue, malaria, chikungunya, zika etc.
EcoBio Group’s Eco BioTrap was deployed by the Mumbai civic body earlier this year at Dharavi. The ONGC Foundation is set to use it to protect 75 anganwadis.
