Dengue: when could mosquito circulation and the contagion curve decrease

In general, the peak of infections occurs during second half of marchalthough the figures are unknown and there is still no information about that, so the decrease in infections will be slow.

According to the infectious disease doctor Silvia González Ayala, member of the Argentine Society of Infectious Diseases (SADI), to Infobae, the decrease in mosquito circulation will depend on the weather conditions. “If we continue with these temperatures and humidity It’s going to be a slow evolution,” he said.

In addition, he assured the media that we must think about the possibility that there may be cases during all year janl Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area and become endemic.

The infectious disease specialist explained that it takes a week with sustained temperatures below 10° so that there is a decrease in dengue cases. In any case, he explains that, although these marks kill the population of adult mosquitoes, the eggs they have left persist from one season to another.

In this way, mosquitoes emerge when climatic conditions occurso it is very important to maintain the elimination of breeding sites and scrapping actions.

Experts say that with a Cold winter The Aedes aegypti mosquito will die off, however, if the winter is not very harsh, it will remain active during the season and infections will continue. For this reason, everyone points out the importance of preventive measures to prevent mosquito circulation.
