S’pore ‘has been preparing to fight Zika for two years’

SINGAPORE — Close to 4,000 blood samples were tested and found negative for Zika between February and August this year, before the first locally-transmitted case of the infection was confirmed, revealed Health Minister Gan Kim Yong as he explained the authorities’ handling of the outbreak.

Sharing the lessons gleaned from the experience so far, Mr Gan also said that while the number of cases detected in recent days has been tapering off, Singapore cannot afford to be complacent. “It is still early days to ascertain what the long-term trend of Zika infections will be,” Mr Gan said in Parliament on Tuesday (Sept 13), as he called on grassroots leaders, volunteers and residents to continue working together in tackling Zika.

Amid comments by some medical practitioners and members of the public that MOH should have started investigations or announced confirmed cases earlier, Mr Gan said that the authorities had been preparing for the fight against Zika since two years ago, when a surveillance programme was established.

Authorities worked with 200 clinics islandwide to regularly collect blood samples from patients with symptoms associated with Zika. These efforts were stepped up in January this year, resulting in more than 500 samples tested each month. The authorities had also strengthened laboratory capabilities and kept doctors abreast of developments on Zika.

SINGAPORE — More than 10,000 breeding habitats were destroyed during inspections by the National Environment Agency (NEA) between January and July this year, half of which were in homes and about 5 per cent in construction sites, Minister for the Environment and Water Resources Masagos Zulkifli said in Parliament on Tuesday (Sept 13).

More than 200 sites were destroyed between Aug 27 — when the first case of locally transmitted Zika was announced — and Sept 11, out of the 31,000 premises inspected for mosquito breeding. A total of 2,200 households were fined between January and July for breeding mosquitoes.

As for construction sites, in the first seven months of the year, the NEA issued around 50 stop-work orders and 410 notices to attend court, and proceeded with more than 40 court prosecutions of errant contractors for repeat offences.

Aedes mozzies can't be wiped out, say experts

Evolution has made the insect highly adaptable to the urban environment; it is also able to breed very fast


Rachel Oh

Carolyn Khew


With new Zika infection cases in Singapore emerging every day, the public and experts are debating whether Aedes aegypti - the mosquito responsible for the spread of dengue, Zika, chikungunya and yellow fever - can be wiped out for good.

The answer is no, say scientists, and there are a number of reasons that have allowed the insect to thrive and evolve to become the world's deadliest animal.

For one thing, evolution has made the insect highly adaptable to the urban environment, enabling it to breed in any small accumulation of stagnant water, explained Assistant Professor Roman Carrasco from the National University of Singapore's biological sciences department. Most of its breeding habitats, such as gutters and crevices, are small and difficult to locate.

Decades of research and millions of dollars spent on eradication efforts have failed to eradicate nature's deadliest animal.

In 1947, the Pan American Sanitary Bureau, now the Pan American Health Organisation, embarked on an ambitious campaign of gargantuan proportions - to eradicate the Aedes aegypti mosquito across the Americas and put a stop to yellow fever.

Extensive eradication efforts saw pools of stagnant water removed and insecticide used liberally across the Western hemisphere. After 15 years, the bureau seemed to have a textbook success story: it eradicated the Aedes mosquito in 18 Latin American countries and drastically reduce the spread of dengue and yellow fever. The celebrations, however, were short-lived.

The mosquitoes returned in full force, and in Cuba in 1981 they brought back with them the first epidemic in the region of the more severe form of dengue - dengue haemorrhagic fever.

Rachel Oh


"It is able to breed very fast, with females laying 100 to 200 eggs per batch and five batches in a lifetime," explained Prof Carrasco.

As it cannot do without human blood, it makes sense for the mosquito to live around people.
