Preventing Dengue Fever: Effective Mosquito Control Measures
The global incidence of dengue fever has risen significantly over the past two decades, presenting a challenge to public health care. No specific dengue fever treatment drug or dengue fever vaccine can be approved to prevent dengue fever. While healthy people will recover from dengue virus infection over a while, dengue fever can cause a range of fatal complications. Therefore, it is essential to take effective preventive measures against dengue fever. This article will help you learn about some effective preventive measures.
What is Dengue Fever?
It is important to clarify what dengue fever is. Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by the dengue virus and transmitted by the bite of the Aedes mosquito.

The spread of dengue fever is cyclical and is more common in tropical and subtropical climates. Generally speaking, most people infected with the dengue hemorrhagic fever virus have no obvious symptoms or mild fever; severe hemorrhagic dengue fever symptoms of high fever, headache, joint and muscle pain, nausea and rash, etc., and the complication rate of death is high. This is why it is also known as “Broken Bone Fever”. Recognition of the warning signs of dengue and effective preventive measures are key elements of care for severe dengue and viral fever.
Spread of Dengue Fever
The main media of dengue fever is the Aedes mosquito, and there has been a surge in the transmission of the tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) in the last two years. Initially, Aedes mosquitoes are infected with the dengue virus after biting, the virus enters the human skin with saliva and spreads to humans, with human-to-human transmission being less common. Aedes mosquitoes can carry and transmit the virus throughout their lives. Dengue fever virus can also be transmitted through infected blood products and organ donation.

Preventing Dengue Fever Measures
Since there is no approved preventive dengue and viral vaccine against mosquito dengue fever and no specific dengue fever treatment drug, good mosquito preventive strategies, and elimination in all other aspects are the most effective way to reduce the risk of dengue and viral fever transmission and inhibit the spread and development of dengue fever virus.
1. Physical Prevention
Anti-mosquito physical prevention from two aspects, on the one hand, the protection of mosquito nets and the use of mosquito repellent, the installation of screens on doors and windows, and the use of mosquito nets to a certain extent can prevent mosquitoes from entering the room, the high incidence of dengue fever in the area can choose to go through the repellent treatment of mosquito nets, and at the same time the use of mosquito repellent to protect the crowd from mosquito bites.

On the other hand, one can choose to wear protective clothing, such as medical scrubs made of anti-mosquito fabrics, to reduce the exposure of skin. These medical uniforms provide some extent of protection from mosquitoes and effectively reduce mosquito touch with humans.
Boston Scrub is a modern medical scrubs and uniforms manufacturer and supplier with a large factory that designs, develops, produces, and sells all in one. Boston is committed to the manufacture of high-quality medical uniforms, and the high-quality anti-mosquito fabric medical protective uniforms made by Boston Scrub are widely used, meanwhile, this kind of fabric is a cool feeling, which gives you a cool and light feeling when you wear it on your body, and it also can protect you from mosquito touch.
2. Environmental Prevention
In terms of environmental control, mosquito populations are reduced primarily by removing mosquito breeding sites and optimizing sanitation.

Water is the place where mosquitoes lay their eggs. Remove small containers that may accumulate water and seal large water storage containers with lids. Also, plant plants that can naturally repel mosquitoes, such as citronella, lavender, and peppermint, whose scents are effective in repelling mosquitoes. It is also important to clean up public activity areas regularly and to clean up standing water promptly after rain.

3. biological prevention
In terms of biological control, the main way to clean up mosquitoes is by introducing natural predators. For example, fish such as peacockfish, tilapia, and carp, which are not mosquitoes, can be kept in the water. It is also possible to introduce Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis, a bacterium that is specifically toxic to mosquito larvae; to modify the population of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes by using transgenic technology; to inhibit the growth of mosquito larvae by using microbial agents; and to increase the diversity of the ecosystem to inhibit mosquito breeding.

People need to adopt healthy living habits. Reasonable nutrition, regular physical exercise, combining work and rest, getting enough sleep, and maintaining a relaxed mood protect and improve the body’s immunity and reduce the risk of infection. The risks posed by dengue and viral fever should not be ignored. Improve people’s understanding of information related to dengue fever and their awareness of prevention and control, and establish a good and healthy hygiene environment.
