Aedes mosquito spread and prevention.
What is the Aedes?
Aedes is a special type that can spread deadly diseases like dengue, Zika virus, chikungunya, and yellow fever. This type of disease is transmitted through the bite of this mosquito. Aedes are generally more active during the day, especially in the morning and evening. Aedes are more common in urban areas and lay their eggs in small water bodies.
Spread of Aedes
Aedes mainly live near humans and transmit disease through their bites. When a aedes bites someone infected with dengue or another virus, the virus enters the mosquito's body and the person's blood. Then when the aedes bites another person, the virus is transmitted to the new person.

Birth and spread of Aedes:
Laying eggs in stagnant water:
Aedes usually lay their eggs in clean and stagnant water. Accumulated water around the house such as flower tubs, empty tires, water tanks, can shells, buckets, buckets, etc. are their main breeding places.
Reproductive cycle:
A female Aedes can lay 100-200 eggs at a time. It usually takes 7-10 days from egg to larva and from larva to full mosquito. As a result, aedes can breed only if a little water accumulates.
Ways to prevent Aedes
Awareness and effective measures are essential to prevent the spread of Aedes. Some effective preventative measures are mentioned below:
1. Removal of accumulated water:
- Completely remove the accumulated water around the house.
- Do not allow water to collect in flower tubs, tin cans, empty tires, old buckets, etc.
