Disperse of the disease
This disease spreads from the bite of the ‘Adise Izipthi’ salt infected female mosquito. Such infected mosquitoes can spread this disease to many people before they die. The dengue virus grows in the body of the mosquito for about 8 to 10 days. These adices are produced in evaporate mosquito water that accumulate in jars, tanks, coolers, household wastes, coconut shells and tires, etc. These mosquitoes cut in the daytime. Dengue mosquitoes are easy to recognize. They have black and white rings on their legs (see photo). Therefore, they are also called ‘Tiger Mosquito’.

3) Mosquito reproductive site – rainwater-filled pits, water tanks, household waste, coconut shells, tires, etc. on the roads.
4) To eliminate mosquito reproductive sites, keep water storage containers dry for a few days.
5) The pits have to be closed to prevent water in drains-pits. If it is not possible, add kerosene or waste oil to those places.
6) Use mosquito net at home to prevent mosquito bites. Gujia fish is poured into stored water tanks as they eat mosquito larvae. Gujia fish are available for free at all government health centers.
8) Fumigation is performed twice during the monsoon for better mosquito control. The effect of fumigation lasts for two months. The house should not be painted for three months from the day of the fumigation (in the monastery, mainly with cow's gober).
