The trial took place in Indonesia’s in Yogyakarta city and is being expanded in the hope of limiting the impacts of the virus.
The scientists believe that the experiment could be a solution to a virus that has gone around the world.
In 1970, only nine countries had countries experienced dengue outbreaks, now there are up to 400 million infections a year.
