That is good. I'm hoping they come up with something for West Nile which was just found in my city recently. Actually vaccines would be best, but I know there are serious difficulties with both manufacture and efficacy of many of these.
They made a big stink when they first found West Nile and Equine Disease here in Florida about 5 years ago. They (County Government) began to deploy foggers on the back of trucks around the county late at night about twice a week. They also dispatched sprayers all over the place to spray bodies of water and release special fish to eat the larvae.
And now...we never have any West Nile problems.
They spray here as well, but it's been REALLY damp for months with unseasonably frequent rainstorms, and the little buggers are coming out in force. I've read it's going to be a real nightmare in the southwest with massive foreclosures and empty, untreated swimming pools.
But you can't entirely get rid of the source... so it would be nice to have both a cure and a prophylactic.
