DENGUE
Dengue is a disease caused by the
Aedes Aegypti mosquito that transmits the
disease when it stings a person.
Currently, the most viral disease

MODE OF TRANSMISSION

from bites and other transmitted diseases

The best preventive measure for residents who
they live in areas infested with Aedes Aegypti
eliminate the places where the
mosquito lays its eggs,
mainly the containers in
disuse that accumulates water.

of the mosquito and will reduce the
number of insects in the home. The use of
air conditioners and metal mesh in
doors and windows reduce the risk of being bitten
by mosquitoes

that lives preferably
near human settlements and has
developed household habits. Certain
home conditions make their cycle possible

Another form of prevention is to avoid the bite of the
mosquito. Unlike other species, the Aëdes
Aegypti feeds mainly during the day,
especially in the morning and in the last hours
in the afternoon. Your flight
it is low, which generally itches the feet and the
calves. We can protect ourselves from the sting
using insect repellents.
SYMPTOMS
Dengue has two forms of

mentioned earlier. These
they differ by the symptoms that
they possess and according to the range of

that the incidence is higher in children under
15 years. Gastrointestinal symptoms, such as

In conclusion, it is necessary to pay attention to what
authorities of the Ministry of Health propose,
to be careful in our homes, using
mosquito nets and avoid having containers with water without
lid.
This virus caused by this mosquito is very
dangerous and can seriously affect health of
people, especially the children of women
pregnant women.
