How does the Indian government address the issue of dengue mosquito eggs being highly resilient
Exploring the research conducted by IIT Mandi and DBT-inStem Bengaluru scientists on the resilience of dengue mosquito eggs.
The Indian government has taken several measures to address the issue of highly resilient dengue mosquito eggs. These measures are based on the research conducted by scientists from IIT Mandi and DBT-inStem Bengaluru.
- Enhanced surveillance: The government has focused on improving surveillance systems to closely monitor dengue mosquito populations and their breeding sites.
- Public education and awareness: Extensive awareness campaigns have been conducted to educate the public about the resilience of dengue mosquito eggs and the importance of effective mosquito control measures.
- Long-lasting insecticidal nets: The government promotes the use of insecticidal nets, particularly in high-risk areas, during the peak mosquito breeding seasons to prevent egg-laying and control dengue transmission.
- Mosquito breeding site elimination: The government actively works towards eliminating potential breeding sites by implementing sanitation and waste management programs.
- Research and innovation: The government supports ongoing research initiatives to further understand the resilience of dengue mosquito eggs and develop innovative strategies for their control.
