Dengue fever has entered the peak period, and Chinese disease control reminds: clear the breeding places of Aedes mosquitoes in time.
Summer and autumn are the high incidence seasons of dengue fever. To this end, the CDC reminded the public on the 8 th that the home and surrounding environment should be kept clean and tidy, and the breeding places of Aedes mosquitoes should be cleared in time. If you have fever within 2 weeks after returning from dengue epidemic area, you should see a doctor in time.
Dengue fever is an acute infectious disease caused by dengue virus, which is mainly transmitted by the bite of Aedes mosquitoes. Aedes mosquitoes that can transmit dengue virus are widely distributed in China. Dengue fever is generally not directly transmitted between people, but people in China are generally susceptible, and the incubation period after infection is generally 1 to 14 days. At present, there is no specific antiviral drug for dengue fever, and support and symptomatic treatment measures are mainly adopted. The treatment principle is early detection, early diagnosis, early treatment and early mosquito isolation.
Aedes albopictus, commonly known as "flower mosquito", is the main mosquito that spreads dengue fever in China, and the peak hours of their bites are around sunrise and before sunset. Aedes albopictus mostly inhabits near breeding sites, and mainly inhabits dark and sheltered places outdoors, such as the inner walls of tanks, tanks and altars, and the inner walls of foundation tanks where water accumulates in construction sites; In the room, they mostly stay on the wall, desks and chairs, under the bed, hanging clothes and so on.
In order to reduce the breeding of Aedes albopictus, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention suggested that various means should be used to remove breeding sites, such as sealing water tanks, filling potholes, waste ponds, dredging ditches, draining stagnant water, and removing waste plastic film bags, waste bottles and cans. At the same time, we should clean up all kinds of useless water in the home and around; Keep the home and surrounding environment clean and tidy, and remove all kinds of sanitary corners and garbage; Drinking water containers or other useful water containers for people and livestock should be completely changed once every 5 to 7 days; Sensitive public health pesticides can be used to kill adult Aedes mosquitoes in the external environment around the home.
Dengue fever is widely prevalent in tropical and subtropical countries and regions such as Southeast Asia, the Western Pacific and southern Africa. If you go to an endemic area of dengue fever, you should wear long-sleeved clothes, try to choose light colors, and use mosquito repellent and other mosquito repellent products to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. Before going out, you can use mosquito-repellent incense and mosquito-killing aerosol in the hotel room to kill mosquitoes indoors. If you have suspicious symptoms during your stay, you need to see a doctor in time. After returning to the local area, if you have fever within 2 weeks, you should see a doctor in time and explain the travel history of dengue fever epidemic areas.
