Calm flat on the chikungunya
[December 30, 2006]
For the penultimate week of the year, three cases were announced, which marks a Net progress compared to the same time of 2005: week 51 had seen the explosion of the epidemic. Even if 90% of R?unionnais pay attention to their environment, there remains large effort to make to avoid the propagation of the disease.
Three cases of chikungunya for the penultimate week of the year. Even if it is too early to shout victory over the epidemic, one can only be delighted by this weak figure announced yesterday at the time of the weekly point in Drass: three small cases isolated in the communes from Holy-Rose, the Plug and Pond-Salted.
For memory, let us recall that week 51 of the year 2005 had marked the epidemic explosion, as Vincent Pierre indicates it, coordinator of the interregional Cell of epidemiology R?union Mayotte: ?More than 2.000 cases had declared themselves.?
Another good news: no death was allotted to the chikungunya between the 18 and December 24, 2006. A all the more encouraging observation as the toll-free number functions well: on the three announced cases this week, two were it by the doctors and the third by the toll-free number.
But attention, warns the regional director of the medical and social businesses, Flore Th?rond-Rivani: ?There are many mosquitos in the East. Not in the West, because that made several weeks that it does not rain there. When it rains, how the population of mosquitos will evolve/move?? Because the major interrogation remains this one: will R?unionnais manage to banish the aedes albopictus of their daily environment?
Enormous progress was made since last year, underlines Ga?lle Fohr in front of the journalists. ?It rained in North. For example, in the sector Sainte-Marie/Wood-Red, one identified 50 positive lodgings for 100 houses.? What gives a ?index of Breteau? of 50%: 50 sites where larvae of mosquitos were found.
VIGILANCE FOR THE LITTLE BABIES
But these ?positive lodgings? concern less than 10% of the houses controlled by Drass. What means that nine R?unionnais out of ten apply the instructions of prevention. ?The major part of the population acquired good reflexes?, is delighted Ga?lle Fohr.
With Suitability, in the commune of Saint-Beno?t cheese, the index of Breteau goes down even to 40%. Let us recognize that there is still a margin of progress? To the least description, teams of demoustication are sent at the people concerned. ?There are currently 1.022 people on the ground?, specifies Ga?lle Fohr. ?Of the agents of the communes, Drass, the councils regional and generals, the firemen and the soldiers of Fazsoi.?
Small recommendation of Mrs. Th?rond-Rivani for this new year: ?It would be liked well that the moms are vigilant for the little babies. The repulsive ones cannot be used before the 3 months age. It is thus necessary to cover them, even with light clothing, and to place a mosquito net on the cradle.?
Because with a stabilization of the temperatures enter 22 and 29 degrees, warns Vincent Pierre, the conditions become again ideal for the development of the mosquitos. It is not necessary that the summer 2007 resembles that of 2006.
