DENGUE FEVER

What is Dengue?

It is a disease caused by the Aedes mosquito.

It is found in tropical and sub-tropical regions around the world.

How is Dengue transmitted?

The Dengue virus is transmitted to humans through bites of female Aedes mosquitoes.

These mosquitoes acquire/get the virus while feeding on the blood of an infected person.

After 8-10 days of incubation, an infected mosquito can transmit the virus to humans.

The lifespan of a mosquito is between 15 to 65 days and it will infect as many people as itpossibly can while it is still alive.

What are the signs?

Dengue fever is a flu-like illness with high fever, headache, pain behind the eyes, muscle

and joint pains and rashes. It seldom causes death. Dengue haemorrhagic fever may cause death.

What can you do to prevent or control Dengue?

Make sure your house is free from Aedes mosquitoes by:

getting rid of containers, both man-made and natural, that can breed mosquitoes (man-madecontainers include flower pot base plants, metal drums, plastic food containers, tyres while

natural containers include leaves and fruit shells);

spraying insecticides in the house to kill the hidden mosquitoes; using insecticide such as ABATE when storing water.
