 Dengue fever is commonly found in tropical and sub-
tropical regions. It is caused by viruses that are spread by
the Aedes aegypti mosquito. It is reported that scientists
have not discovered any vaccines to protect people
against the virus. The only thing that people can do is to
create good sanitation to minimize the spread of Aedes
aegypti mosquito.
The spread of the mosquito can be prevented by
cleaning areas that are potentially used as breeding sites.
The mosquitos live near water and lay their eggs in the
walls of water containers. They may live in unsealed
septic tanks or water tanks, discarded tyres and bottles, or
vases. We have to regularly check our surroundings and
throw discarded bottles or tyres away and close any
water containers.
Wearing clothes that cover the whole body or
sleeping under a mosquito net at night are good
precautions. It is always emphasised that a single bite
from Aedes aegypti is enough to make you sick. Living
with good sanitation is a must.
