The Department of Disease Control reveals that the number of “dengue fever” and “malaria” cases is higher than the previous year, suggesting the proper elimination of “bad mosquitoes”. Avoid unnecessary use of chemicals. Ready to clarify the chemical spray to eliminate Still effective at killing 90% of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes after Japan researched Vietnamese, Cambodian mosquitoes resistant to chemicals.
On January 16, 2023, Dr. Tares Krassanairawiwong The Director-General of the Department of Disease Control said that at present, Thailand has found an increase in reports of contagious diseases carried by mosquitoes, including dengue fever. and malaria Data from the report in 2022 found cumulative dengue patients 45,145 people, which is 4.5 times more than in 2021, and 31 confirmed deaths from dengue fever.
malaria Data from the online malaria system in 2022 found a cumulative total of 10,174 cases, 3 times higher than in 2021, and is likely to continue to increase in 2023. The provinces with the highest cases are Tak, Mae Hong Son and Kanchanaburi. be 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 2021. Zika has accumulated 66 cases, 20 of which 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
Dr. Sophon Iamsirithavorn Deputy Director-General of the Department of Disease Control said that there are many types of mosquitoes in Thailand. Types found as vectors include Aedes mosquitoes carrying dengue fever. fever, joint pain, mosquito bites and Zika virus infection Anopheles mosquito carries malaria Tiger mosquitoes carry elephantiasis and nuisance mosquitoes carry encephalitis. and some types of elephantiasis Each species of vector mosquitoes has different biological habits and breeding sites. The life cycle of mosquitoes has 4 stages: egg, larvae, moths and adults. The adult female stage is the stage that feeds on blood. for the development of mosquito eggs thus causing the spread of contagious diseases carried by mosquitoes
for disease prevention and control to be successful There must be measures in terms of people, germs, mosquito vectors, and requires cooperation from all sectors by using many methods together, such as reducing breeding sites. by environmental management preventing mosquito bites Use of chemicals to kill mosquitoes especially in the event of an outbreak of disease And if there is an illness or suspected of being sick with a contagious disease brought by mosquitoes, one 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 cause gastrointestinal bleeding easily. difficult to treat cause the risk of death
Get rid of the bad “mosquitoes” properly. Avoid unnecessary use of chemicals.
Dr. Chantana Phadungtos, director of the Division of Insect-Borne Diseases, said that the use of chemicals to prevent and control disease-carrying mosquitoes, such as spraying chemicals to eliminate adult mosquitoes. There is a need to stop the spread of the disease from spreading. And to prevent mosquitoes from biting and spreading the disease to others. which the chemical spray It 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 has been registered by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) not spraying too often unnecessarily To prevent the resistance of mosquitoes to chemicals. This will affect the effectiveness of disease control in the future.
home mosquito repellent chemical 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 resistant to chemicals or not. And proposed switching insecticides to control mosquitoes. in the division of communicable diseases carried by insects has studied the efficacy of pyrethroid chemicals Used to get rid of Aedes mosquitoes. Using the methods of fogging and spraying ULV in 12 areas, namely Chiang Mai, Tak, Phichit, Nakhon Pathom, Chachoengsao, Maha Sarakham, Udon Thani, Nakhon Ratchasima, Ubon Ratchathani, Phang Nga, Songkhla and Bangkok, it was found that the chemicals were effective in controlling Aedes aegypti mosquitoes well. Able to kill more than 90% of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes.
Thailand has recommended the use of mixed chemical insecticides and standardized concentrations. which is already effective in eliminating mosquitoes If you have any questions, you can ask for more information at the Department of Disease Control hotline 1422.
