A partylist lawmaker Saturday urged government research agencies to conduct studies on plants that may be used in repelling mosquitoes.

ACT CIS Partylist Rep. Niña Taduran said the Philippine Institute of Traditional and Alternative Health Care and other agencies should now start scientific research on plants that have repelling capabilities against mosquitoes.

Taduran said Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are the culprits in the hospitalization of thousands of Filipinos due to dengue fever. Taduran said that aside from dengue, mosquitoes also carry other life-threatening viruses like Japanese Encephalitis, Chikungunya, and Malaria.
