I too wondered about mutations of the virus and whether it could turn out to be a disaster. Yellow Fever was wiped out here in the Yucatan through concentrated work on eliminating the breeding areas for the vector mosquito. It seems a safer route to take. There are some studies that suggest the dengue virus is already mutating, they have found it in male mosquitos which wouldn't normally happen unless they got it from their mother. As I understand it, there haven't been enough examples to form a definite opinion that the virus has mutated so that it can be transmitted from mother to child but it is a scary thought.

I love the names of some places in Australia, Yorkeys Knob has such a funny sound to it.
