Bolivia Intensifies Anti-dengue Campaign
La Pa - Bolivian health authorities
confirmed Saturday the anti-dengue campaign
continues to be intensified in Bolivia, with
nearly 40,000 dengue cases since January.
National Epidemiology Director Eddy Martinez
explained it is about a cleaning campaign,
as part of a permanent struggle to
definitively remove the Aedes Aegypti
mosquito larval breeding sites, dengue fever
vector.
The campaign takes places mainly in rural
areas of the region of Santa Cruz, the
hardest hit, and also in Riberalta (Beni),
Tarija and Cochabamba.
Health Minister Ramiro Tapia explained the
campaign against dengue spread will continue
without changes, fumigating cities and
tropical towns.
The health official stressed the
international cooperation, mainly from Cuba
and Venezuela, and Ecuador, country that
recently joined this cooperation. |
