I'd prefer the GMO mosquito approach however it seems the lean is often in the direction of pharmaceutical companies.

There is more money in drugs than GMO skeeters in the current medical/economic system. Personally, I would like to see a multi modal approach of using every tool available to deal with Dengue here. Mexico is a huge country and has firmly grasped the concept of preventative medicines like vaccines as being more effective than treating the disease once you are in the middle of an epidemic, especially with rural communities with limited resources.
