Remind everyone to protect themselves
Beware of dengue fever
The main vectors of dengue virus transmission are Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti (commonly known as "Aedes versifloris").
Aedes albopictus
Aedes aegypti
After dengue fever patients or people with latent infection are bitten by Aedes mosquitoes, the virus will multiply in the body of Aedes mosquitoes for 8~10 days, and then spread the virus to other people through the bite.
To put it simply, dengue fever is transmitted through "the patient→ Aedes mosquito → others".
First of all, let's take a look, how do mosquitoes grow?
Mosquitoes have to go through four stages of egg, larva, pupa and adult in their life, and the first three periods are completed in water, so the reproduction and growth of mosquitoes cannot be separated from water.
Indoor and outdoor containers of various types of stagnant water are an important base for the "spawning" and breeding of Aedes mosquitoes.
Don't doubt that the mosquitoes that bite people are probably "raised" by the stagnant water in your own home.
No stagnant water, no mosquitoes
No mosquitoes, no dengue fever
As the general public
The main thing we can do is:
Clean up the stagnant water in your home and turn it over and pour it more
Strangling mosquitoes in the cradle
Containers for growing aquatic plants
The water should be changed 1-2 times a week, and the roots of the plants should be rinsed and the inner walls of the container should be washed.
Stagnant water that may breed mosquitoes
Drain stagnant water that may breed mosquitoes, including the front and back of houses, gardens/balconies/rooftops, pools/aquaponic plants, water dispenser trays/flower pot base supports, bamboo tubes/tree hollows/tyres, construction sites and green belts.
