Dengue Prevention Checklist




To prevent the spread of dengue fever, you must first prevent the breeding

of its vector, the Aedes mosquito. The Aedes mosquito is easily identifiable

by its distinctive black and white stripes on their body. It prefers to

breed in clean, stagnant water easily found in our homes. You can get rid of

the Aedes mosquito by frequently checking and removing stagnant water in

your premises.



The guidelines below will give you an overview of how you can prevent the

Aedes mosquito from breeding.

Prevention And Control
 
 
There is no detailed or specific action for dengue fever, but close medical


awareness and clinical management revives the lives of many patients. At the

present time, the only technique of controlling dengue and DHF is to battle

the vector mosquito all the way through chemical control and environmental

management. Community-based cleaning operations remove tyres, bottles, cans

and other objects that catch and keep hold of water, get free of possible

breeding sites for vector mosquitoes. Larval surroundings are too treated

with insecticide. Insecticidal space sprays, by means of vehicle-mounted or

moveable machines, are used in many programmes for urgent situations.
