The Department of Disease Control reveals that the number of “dengue fever” and “malaria” cases are higher than the previous year, suggesting the appropriate elimination of “bad mosquitoes”. Avoid unnecessary use of chemicals. Ready to explain the chemical spray to eliminate Still effective in killing 90% of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes after Japan researched chemical-resistant Vietnamese, Cambodian mosquitoes.
On January 16, 2023, Dr Tares Krassanairawiwong Director General of the Department of Disease Control said that Thailand has currently detected an increase in reports of infectious diseases carried by mosquitoes, including dengue fever. and malaria Data from the report found that in 2022 there were 45,145 cumulative dengue patients, which is 4.5 times more than in 2021, and confirmed 31 deaths from dengue fever.
malaria Data from the online malaria system found a cumulative total of 10,174 cases in 2022, 3 times higher than in 2021, and is likely to continue to increase in 2023. The states with the highest cases are Tak, Hong Son and Kanchanaburi were a foreigner and 2 patients died. Aedes aegypti rheumatism found 1,370 cumulative patients, although no deaths were reported, but the number of mosquito rheumatism patients was twice as high as in 2021. Zika has accumulated 66 cases, of which 20 are pregnant women, one baby with small heads, and four new cases of lymphatic filariasis.
Sick, do not buy drugs in the “NSED” group, eat by yourself
Sophon Iamsirithavrn Deputy Director General of the Department of Disease Control said there are many types of mosquitoes in Thailand. Types found as vectors include Aedes mosquitoes which carry dengue fever. fever, joint pain, mosquito bites and Zika virus infection The Anopheles mosquito carries malaria Tiger mosquitoes carry elephantiasis and nuisance mosquitoes carry encephalitis. and some types of elephantiasis Each species of vector mosquito has different biological habits and breeding sites. The life cycle of mosquitoes has 4 stages: egg, larva, moth and adult. The female adult stage is the blood feeding stage. for the development of mosquito eggs causing the spread of infectious diseases carried by mosquitoes
to prevent and control diseases to be successful There must be measures in terms of people, germs, mosquito vectors, and cooperation is needed from all sectors by using many methods together, such as reducing breeding sites. by environmental control to prevent mosquito bites Using chemicals to kill mosquitoes especially in case of disease And if there is illness or suspicion of being ill with an infectious disease brought by mosquitoes, you must hurry to see a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. Do not buy self-medication, especially drugs in the NSAIDs group such as ibuprofen, diclofenac, aspirin, including combination drugs, which can easily cause gastrointestinal bleeding. difficult to treat causing the risk of death
Get rid of the bad “mosquitoes” properly. Avoid unnecessary use of chemicals.
Dr Chantana Phadungtos, director of the Insect-Borne Diseases Division, said that the use of chemicals to prevent and control disease-carrying mosquitoes, such as spraying chemicals to eliminate adult mosquitoes. The spread of the disease needs to be prevented. And to prevent mosquitoes from biting and spreading the disease to others. the chemical spraying must be done correctly, promptly and according to standards. in the scope of the epidemic
The breeding grounds for larvae must be destroyed to prevent new mosquitoes from emerging. By spraying, the use of chemicals and concentrations must be selected as recommended by the World Health Organization. And registered by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) without spraying too often unnecessarily In order to prevent mosquitoes’ resistance to chemicals. This will affect the effectiveness of disease control in the future.
Chemical home mosquito repellent is also effective
And from the news that researchers from Japan present a research report that mosquitoes in Vietnam and Cambodia are resistant to chemicals in the Pyrethroid group (Pyrethroid) is a study to warn countries in Southeast Asia, South and Asia Be aware of monitoring mosquitoes in the area whether they are chemical resistant or not. And offer to change insecticides to control mosquitoes. in the division of communicable diseases carried by insects has studied the effectiveness of pyrethroid chemicals It is used to get rid of Aedes mosquitoes. Using fogging and ULV spraying methods in 12 areas, namely Chiang Mai, Tak, Phichit, Nakhon Pathom, Chachoengsao, Maha Sarakham, Udon Thani, Nakhon Ratchasima, Ubon Ratchathani, Phang Nga, Songkhla and Bangkok, the chemicals were found to be effective in good control of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Can kill more than 90% of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes.
Thailand has recommended the use of mixed chemical insecticides and standard concentrations. which is already effective in eliminating mosquitoes If you have any questions, you can ask for more information on the Disease Control Department helpline 1422.
