Medical dept, SCG launch anti-mosquito 'Nano Shoes'A Department of Medical Sciences researcher holds charts showing results of using sea clam oil to create mosquito-attractant water. SCG Chemicals and the Department of Medical Science on Monday inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to launch an innovation designed to kill mosquito colonies, dubbed "Nano Shoes", or "anti-mosquito Mosquito Shoes" across several communities in Chanthaburi province and Rayong's Map Ta Phut district. "The Nano Shoes attract mosquitoes, which fly towards the trap only for their feet to be covered in a proprietary blend of insecticide," said Suracha Udomsak, the vice-president of SCG Chemicals on Monday. "We chose the name 'Nano Shoes' because the larvicide adheres to the feet of the mosquitoes." photos by Pawat LaupaisarntaksinThe World Health Organisation estimates that there are about 100 million cases of dengue fever reported annually, and most of the cases are reported in Continental Asia.
