It is if we all work together that the fight once morest mosquitoes, vectors of dengue fever, will be fully effective. This is to protect once morest bites, but also to destroy breeding sites, namely stagnant water reservoirs. The ARS reminds you of the procedure to follow.
The Regional Health Agency (ARS) Guadeloupe / Northern Islands alerts the populations: “several cases of dengue fever have been declared, in particular in Saint-Barthélemy”.
Current weather conditions, namely recurring episodes of rain, favor the development of Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes, carriers of this virus.
In this context, everyone must work, on the one hand by protecting themselves, but also by preventing the proliferation of these harmful insects; for this, it suffices to destroy the breeding sites.
These collective actions can allow us to win the fight once morest mosquitoes, reminded the ARS.
It is enough simply to adopt the right gestures: get rid of stagnant water, remove bulky items or empty the cups of flower vases likely to constitute lodgings, cover the cisterns, use repellents, wear long clothes and in case of fever see a doctor.

The vector control agents (LAV) of the ARS, for their part, continue to identify and treat the breeding sites and to carry out local communication.
The objectives are to reduce the impact of the disease on the population and to avoid ending up in an epidemic, with the occurrence of serious cases requiring hospitalization.
