The cases of vector-borne diseases like dengue, malaria and chikungunya are on the rise in several states of the country at a time when India is already dealing with a coronavirus pandemic.
Waterlogging is a perfect breeding condition for mosquitos, thus increasing the risk of its spread that becomes even higher in areas with hygiene issues.
Viral fevers seasonal pattern
Every year, from July to November, there will be an upsurge in dengue cases. The disease has a seasonal pattern, i.e., the peak comes after monsoon and it is not uniformly distributed throughout the year.
Dengue virus is transmitted through the bite of a female Aedes (Ae.) mosquito. Aedes is a day time feeder and can fly up to a limited distance of 400 meters. Dengue mosquitoes can’t breed once the temperature falls below 16 degrees.
Why are viral fevers rising this season?
There are certain reasons for the rise of viral fevers this season.
- One, the monsoon withdrawal, which happens in September, got delayed and monsoon ended by November. In monsoon, people are a bit alert about vector diseases but after monsoon they become a little careless.
This time during the delayed monsoon period rain water got accumulated around the localities and the mosquitoes got the perfect time to breed in the delayed monsoon period.
- Another one, there was unlimited breeding of dengue larvae in vacant plots where it was found in plastic glasses, coconut shells, cisterns, bottles, tires or containers which were thrown in the garbage and got filled during rain water and led to its breeding.
And once the breeding gets intense then control is a bit difficult unless people follow the instructions and proper fogging is done on a regular basis.
Strong immunity can help reduces the risk of various diseases. Building a strong immune system with some natural ways of lifestyle modifications can prevent seasonal fevers.
- Remember to clean out empty flower pots and not to over water potted plants. It is advisable not to have any stagnant water around as it acts as a breeding ground for the mosquitoes.
- If you are going out during the day, ensure that you wear light colored clothes that cover the extremities of your bodies well. This is especially important for the elderly, who tend to take a stroll in the park, and for children, who play outdoors.
- Mosquitoes tend to stay indoors, so install a mesh or any other sort of barrier on your windows to keep them out. Always cover your trash can or dustbin when not in use. Use natural repellents to keep mosquitoes at bay.
