Increase in Sources of Dengue-Carrying Mosquitoes in Santo Domingo /
Wendy Iriepa and Ignacio Estrada
By Ignacio Estrada Cepero, Independent Journalist.
In the past week the municipal office of vector control in Santo Domingo
in Villa Clara province, detected a total of 111 sources of the Aedes
mosquito — which carries dengue fever — in that city.
The data was released Friday by one of the municipal inspectors who
asked for anonymity. He explained that the appearance of these new
sources increases the danger of contracting dengue fever and that the
mosquitoes are most commonly found in concentrations of water in the
sewers, ditches, public landfills and in some cases in schools in shelters.
He mentioned that among the schools are the David Diaz Guardarrama
School, which recently remained closed for 72 hours.
