DENGUE PREVENTION
 Dengue Fever is a viral infection caused by the Dengue Virus.
Dengue virus is transmitted by female mosquitoes mainly of the
species Aedes aegypti. It is flu-like illness which can turn out to
be severe. Dengue is also known as Dandy and Break bone
fever. It is completely preventable. The best prevention is
controlling mosquitoes and reducing mosquito density
 Preventing or reducing dengue virus transmission depends
entirely in controlling the mosquito vectors or interruption of
human–vector contact. The best way to reduce mosquitoes
carrying dengue is to eliminate the places where the mosquito
lays eggs, like artificial containers that hold water in and around
our workplace. And always keep our surroundings clean at all
times.
