Mosquito malice

, September 27, 2014

Mice are restrained temporarily inside a cage, so mosquitoes can sting them and host the chikungunya virus, at a public health laboratory in Santo Domingo on September 26. The mice are restrained in this way for 10 minutes at a time. According to the Dominican Health Ministry, the mosquito-borne virus called Chikungunya has infected nearly 500,000 people in the country since it first appeared in the region in December.
