Agree. DDT is the answer. Interestingly, DDT is not mentioned in the article but is mentioned in the comments following the article:

Three letters--DDT--would solve the mosquito problem. Silent Spring was a farce which was intended--successfully, as it turned out--to demonize its use. Use DDT where mosquitoes are a problem and presto! Far fewer problems. No need for Gates to waste his money where a solution already exists, he can go back and hide in his Lake Washington enclave.

Sounds like a FReeper, doesn't it?

The way the article headline is phrased:

Deadly mosquito-borne pandemic poses a greater threat to humankind than global war

one could get the idea the pandemic already exists. Fortunately, untrue.
