Union Health Minister J.P Nadda on Tuesday urged the Resident Welfare Associations to keep their colonies clean in order to keep dengue and other vector-borne diseases away. “Amongst various steps/strategies which need to be put in place for this problem, our main focus should be on controlling the vector itself. For this purpose, cleanliness is the most important thing,” he said on the occasion of National Dengue Day. “It is the responsibility of all of us and within our communities to insist that we don’t create an environment for the dengue to breed. “‘Dengue free India’ is a vision which can be fulfilled by increased community ownership to prevent dengue related morbidity and mortality in India. Community efforts in right direction can minimize the disease burden in the country. Simple measures can be taken for keeping the surroundings clean and free of aedes mosquitoes,” said Nadda.

Dengue is a communicable diseases spread by mosquitoes from one human to another. So, the only way it can really be prevented is by avoiding mosquito bites. One can make sure all egg-laying habitats of mosquitoes like open and stagnant water source are cleaned up. If there are any open water sources you cannot eliminate, cover them and apply appropriate insecticides. Use protection such as window screens, long-sleeved clothes, and insecticide treated materials, coils and vaporizers.The diagnosis of dengue fever is usually made when a patient exhibits the typical clinical symptoms of headache, fever, eye pain, severe muscle aches and petechial rash. Usually if a patient is from an area that has a huge population of mosquitoes, dengue can be suspected. A blood test to diagnose people with dengue fever, called the DENV (Detect IgM Capture ELISA) may also be used.
