VG Mosquito Reduction: With the approval of the BVI Ministry of Health, Green VI's Bug Out program has, with cooperation from the VG community, carefully evaluated a non-toxic, non-gmo method of reducing disease-carrying mosquitoes that is suitable for use on Virgin Gorda. The method, which reduces the aedes aegypti mosquito that carries dengue, Zika and chikungunya, utilizes a naturally-occurring bacteria already present in the BVI and we anticipate being able to replicate the success this method has had in Puerto Rico, California, Singapore and Australia. Door to door conversations and public meetings have been on-going for over a year in Virgin Gorda to share all the details of this cutting-edge project and the current status report can be found at greenvi.org/bugout/ We thank you for your interest in this innovative work and invite you to please call Green VI 340 1969 anytime for more information.
