Dengue continues to pose a significant public health threat. Understanding how to prevent the spread of the disease is essential for protecting both individual and community health. A crucial part of prevention is identifying the mosquitoes that transmit the virus. The main offenders, Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, are not only responsible for dengue but also for other diseases such as chikungunya, Zika and yellow fever. By learning to recognise these mosquitoes and adopting proactive measures, you can greatly reduce your risk of infection.
