Hyderabad: Health officials have warned residents of Hills Jubilee, Serilingampally and Secunderabad will be vigilant with dengue fever because these regions accounted for more than 30 percent of the total dengue of Hyderabad this season.
Officials identified by pots are used to keep indoor plants as one of the main reasons for the spread of dengue fever.
“Residents ignore the fact that water accumulates under a flower pot in which mosquitoes larva grow.
This is especially true at the residence with the habit of placing plates under the flower pot,” the official said.
This pattern is more observed in Jubilee Hills and Kondapur, among other rich regions.
Dengue is caused by mosquitoes that breed in clear water, they said.
Officials said Telangana recorded 1,666 cases in the last 45 days with Hyderabad alone accounting for 537.
This season, a total of 4,771 samples, including 1,725 from the city, were collected for testing.
“Fortunately, no one in this country surrendered to this year’s fever, but the incidence of fever has increased when compared to last year,” officials said.
Cases of less than 1,000 are currently in 2020.
Private hospitals in the city also see increases in dengue cases caused by breeding mosquitoes in flower pots in independent homes, flats and gated communities.
“Many luxury locations have vegetation and landscape where stagnant water often occurs.
This is the perfect place for mosquito breeding.
We suggest to people roam to the green room after covering their hands and feet correctly and to avoid places like It was in the morning, “said Dr.
Y Sridhar, a critical care consultant, Apollo Hospital.
He said mosquitoes that carry dengue active in the morning.
Dr.
KV Rao, a doctor from Secunderabad, said the cases were less thanks to locking and strong sanitization among people.
“We are now watching a situation similar to the 2018 season who reported a very high number of dengue cases.
Overhead water tanks are other major places where dengue mosquitoes breed.
Cleaning water tanks is a must,” he said.
Water also accumulates in a bowl of water set by birds and pets in homes.
