Dengue And Chikungunya Mosquitoes Breed In Dirty Water:
This is the most common misconception associated with dengue and chikungunya. It is not just dirty water that mosquitoes breed in even clean water that has been stagnant for over many days, act as a breeding ground for Aedes aegypti, the yellow fever mosquito. Water collected in discarded tyres and tubes, empty flower pots, drums, under refrigerators can all be potential breeding spots for mosquitoes.
