News of people having dengue fever may seem to die out, however, prevention must still go on. Primary prevention of dengue mainly resides in mosquito control. There are two primary methods: larval control and adult mosquito control. Mosquito larva may seem innocuous but they only take 6 days to form an adult Aedes mosquito. Adult Aedes mosquito propagate very quickly, they can lay eggs about 3 times in its lifetime and about 100 eggs are produced each time. These eggs hatch into larva in less than a day! There is is no commercially available vaccine for the dengue virus yet, therefore, prevention are necessary. At all times, make sure there is no surfeit of water left in the open, this creates an deleterious mosquito-free milieu for us to live in.
