Prevent the Dengue Mosquito From Breeding

Below article on how to prevent the dengue mosquito from breeding.

The Aedes aegypti, commonly called yellow fever mosquito, dengue and causes the most deadly infection, dengue hemorrhagic fever. Materialize dengue fever, dengue hemorrhagic fever as first signs, headache, nausea, vomiting and muscle pain. Stages of infection are able to lead by the nose and mouth, drowsiness and shock from bleeding to death. To prevent the breeding success of Aedes aegypti women, should be apartments, which are conducive to the reproduction is completed. The eggs can develop around your home, usually in containers of water. It can grow up to 10 days for larvae to adults.

#1

Overturn containers that collect water, as recommended by the National Environment Agency. Avoid allowing water to accumulate in outdoor containers.

# 2
Kill larvae before they become adults.
Use BTI Briquets for outdoor applications to kill mosquito larvae, recommends the Armed Forces Pest Management Board. The briquets contain Bacillus thuringiensis, an incecticide. Place the BTI Briquets in bird baths, ponds and other areas where water can't be changed on a daily basis.

# 3
Avoid stagnant water in your flowering pots.

Clean the water in your flower pots. Avoid letting the water stagnate, to prevent the female from laying her eggs. Occasionally stir the soil in your plotted plants to keep water from sitting on the surface. Cleanse any flower pot plates with a scrub brush to remove any potential eggs.

# 4
Don't develop breeding grounds.

Clear debris from your roof gutters. Leaves and twigs in your gutter can allow water to accumulate, creating an optimal breeding ground for the female.

# 5
Remove sources of breeding grounds.

Remove any clutter than can hold water, says The University of Kentucky College of Agriculture. Items can include buckets and tires.

# 6
Take precaution indoors.

Change the water in your vases daily. Rinse the roots of your flowers underneath running water to remove eggs. Wash the inside of your vase thoroughly after use.

Fighting Dengue by Using Lab Mosquitoes

Above about Malaysia to use lab mosquitoes for fighting dengue. Try product from the bottom of this blog under sponsor links.

Government authorities said Monday, Malaysia could be the first Asian country to use genetically modified mosquitoes for fighting the rise in dengue fever.

The programmed will see the release of genetically engineered male mosquitoes into the wild. The insects in the study have been engineered so that their offspring quickly die, which will help curb the increasing mosquito population, in a technique researchers hope could eventually eradicate the dengue mosquito altogether.

Laboratory test trials have made the Malaysian scientists optimistic.

The female of the Aedes aegypti mosquito that is quite common in Asia and Latin America is responsible for spreading dengue fever, whose symptoms include high fever, joint pains and nausea. There is no known cure or vaccine for the fever, which can lead to internal bleeding, circulatory shut-down, liver enlargement and even death in severe cases.

Efforts urging Malaysians to keep neighborhoods clean and destroy stagnant sources of water that are potential breeding grounds for mosquitoes, have failed and more innovation ways are needed for fighting dengue.

According to Health Ministry statistics, between January and early October, the number of dengue related deaths in Malaysia reached a total of 117, a 65% increase from last year. Overall, dengue infections increased 17% from last year to over 37,000 cases.

Lim Chua Leng, a Health Ministry official said, in the first experiment of its kind in Asia, Malaysian authorities plan to release between 2,000 and 3,000 genetically modified mosquitoes in two areas, after Cabinet approval has been received.

However, environmentalists are concerned the GM mosquito could fail to prevent dengue and also have unintended consequences.

Critics say the larvae will only die if their environment is free of tetracycline, an antibiotic commonly used for medical and veterinary purposes.

Effective Cure Dengue with Papaya

Here about cure dengue.

While researchers believe tawa-tawa leaves (also called gatas-gatas leaves) can be effective to cure dengue fever, new study claims Papaya leaves help dengue fever patients recover from their illness.

According to study done by Dr. Sanath Hettige in Sri Lanka, papaya leaf juice helps increase white blood cells and platelets, normalizes clotting in blood, and repairs the liver. These things are mainly affected by the dengue fever.

The study conducted on 70 dengue fever patients suggests that patient affected by Dengue should consume the papaya leaf juice in the first stage of the disease to get cured.

However, the Papaya leaf juice is not effective in the last stages of the dengue fever, because the organs in the patient are badly affected by the disease.

Take preventive measures against dengue fever

Above some info about dengue.

A Myanmar official daily Monday called on the country's people to continue to take preventive measures against dengue fever as it has entered the rainy season which is sensitive to the occurrence of the disease.

"Dengue fever, malaria, diarrhea, cough and pneumonia may rare their ugly heads again," the New Light of Myanmar warned in its editorial, stressing the need to take preventive measures against the seasonal diseases. 

Pointing out that mosquito, in particular, is the most prolific in the rainy season, the editorial emphasized the need also to pay serious attention to the prevention and control of dengue fever so that people can stay away from the disease caused by mosquito. 

Quoting the health department, the editorial said mostly under- 15 children, especially between three and nine years of age suffer dengue fever and now such cases are found even among some adult people, further warning that dengue fever cases can occur regardless of age and season. 

According to the Yangon City Development Committee, the city saw less dengue fever occurrence in the first quarter of 2010 correspondingly, thanks to the authorities' tight preventive measure against the disease.

I confess to some cynicism about this report. Burma (renamed Myanmar by its military rulers) is effectively a satellite of China. No one else has a kind word to say about the despots who rule it, though India and Thailand help to keep the generals in power with their trade deals.

Prevent the spread of dengue

Above about prevent the spread of dengue.

Health officials in the primary health center Candolim intensified measures to prevent the spread of dengue fever in the area. The decision was made after the death of 6-year-old boy from Bangalore.

The PHC medical officer Dr Govekar said: "Among other measures, we have found in stagnant water in construction sites in the area. However, we have great respect for standing water that may be of concern .

Prevention tests were conducted at the school the child attended.

Although these measures have been taken in the area inhabited by the child in Naikawaddo, Amritsar, is only a reactionary movement. What is required is an active movement to ensure hygienic conditions in force in the area of Amritsar, with the spread of mosquito breeding a major cause for concern.
