In this episode, we venture into a veritable mosquito haven—the Duke-NUS insectary, where healthy mosquitoes are grown to help researchers shed light on how new vaccines and even treatments impact the dengue virus when the virus is inside the mosquito. 

We also find out which common insect repellents work and which ones will leave you scratching countless bites.

Joining us in this episode:

-        Dr Milly Choy, Senior Research Fellow, Duke-NUS Emerging Infectious Diseases Programme and head of the insectary core facility at Duke-NUS

-        Ms Menchie Manuel, Laboratory Technologist at the insectary at Duke-NUS
