With the onset of monsoon, dengue infection has started to appear. From June to August (June-August) is considered as the time when the risk of dengue infection persists.
According to the statistics of the Epidemiology and Disease Control Division (EDCD), from January 1 to June 8, 1,255 infected people have been found, while dengue infection has been confirmed in 72 districts. The highest number of infected people is seen in Kathmandu.
132 infected have been found in Kathmandu, 90 in Kaski, 87 in Sunsari, 61 in Chitwan, 51 in Palpa, 47 in Rupandehi, 37 in Kanchanpur, 32 in Dang and 30 in Bhaktapur. Dr. Gokarn Dahal, Head of Insect Disease Control Branch of EDCD, said that even though it is not possible to create a situation to bring dengue to zero and eradicate dengue-causing mosquitoes, control can be done.
He said, 'Dengue infection and death rate can be reduced. For this, everyone's coordination is necessary. Citizens, communities, governmental and non-governmental organizations should all join hands.' Dahal said that the monsoon has started early this year and the meteorologist has estimated that there will be a lot of rain, so there is a possibility that the infection will increase.
'We do not have enough vector data to assess whether dengue infections will increase or remain stable this year. However, since the monsoon has started a while ago and it is said that there will be a lot of rain, the possibility of water accumulation and accumulation and the development of mosquitoes cannot be ruled out, he said.
According to Dahal, if everyone participates equally in dengue control from their respective places, the necessary programs related to dengue control at all three levels can reduce the rate of dengue infection and death. Dengue is an insect-borne disease transmitted by the bite of a female Aedes aegypti mosquito. Avoid mosquito bites to avoid dengue.
To avoid this, wear clothes that cover the entire body, repair potholes, if there is a water or sewage leak, keep empty dishes in a bowl, empty the water tank and keep cleaning, use a swing while sleeping, keep well covered water tanks, drums, buckets, and buckets that collect water so that mosquitoes do not enter, do not work around your home, workplace and public places. The expert urges to manage the utensils, cups, bottles, tea bags, plastic items and other utensils and materials that cannot hold water in such a way that they do not freeze.
