They discover that the female mosquito transmitter "inherits" the virus to their eggs, so the young are born already infected
PUERTO VALLARTA, JALISCO (05/JUL/2011) .- Discovered in Puerto Vallarta that the dengue virus transmission is occurring vertically, that is, the female mosquito "Aedes aegypti" infected passed the disease to their eggs , so when mosquitoes are born already have the virus. It is so no longer need the mosquitoes bite an infected person to carry the virus, as normally occurs, but are born with the ability to infect humans, according to the Vectors and Zoonosis head of the Ministry of Health Jalisco ( SSJ) , Leandro Barrios Hern?ndez. The notification was given to Jalisco since last week, when the Institute of Epidemiological Diagnosis and Reference (Indre) of the Federal Ministry of Health (SSA) sent the results of studies performed on larvae sent by the SSJ. "We bring circulating virus transmission, and this means that the female and can transmit it to the egg and the larva, then this gives us Now, the presence of infected mosquitoes without having to bite a human. " So far, the transmission has only been found in Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara Metropolitan Area, but it is the first time this has happened in Jalisco. He is not known if other states there is this same situation, but recognizes that this is a problem that can bring a significant increase of cases in our institution, because there will be more infected mosquitoes. Each female "Aedes aegypti" can have up to 200 eggs in each clutch. Choose different places to do so, and his favorites are the recipients of clean water in shady, moist areas, so the bottom line remains the cleaning tasks that people do in their homes. What to do? Population: Action more important at this time remains the elimination of mosquito breeding sites possible, such as containers, bottles, tires and other items that collect water cleaner, in this rainy season to prevent having places for mosquito breeding. Al have infected larvae will be more difficult to control after their elimination, so the call is that people keep their yards clean and free of junk, not to enable the emergence of flies. The SSJ: Continue coordination between municipalities and the dependence to eliminate breeding sites, as well as the Jalisco Secretariat of Education ( SEJ ) for the delivery of "Recados school" students, and they can inform their houses on the need to clean the yard. Encourage the owners of farms Puerto Vallarta rest do not give up and kept free of junk. Continue with larval control through larviciding and spraying where positive cases are detected.
