mosquito which lays eggs in clear and stagnant

This disease occurs more frequently in the rainy
season and immediately afterwards (July to October)
in India. 
The Dengue virus is present in the blood of the
patient suffering from Dengue fever. Whenever an
Aedes mosquito bites a patient of Dengue fever, it
sucks blood and along with it, the Dengue virus into
its body. The virus undergoes further development
in the body of the mosquito for a few days. When
the virus containing mosquito bites a normal human
being, the virus is injected into the person's body
and he/she becomes infected and can develop

 Prevention of Dengue Fever by early
recognition of plasma leakage by frequent
estimation of hematocrit (> 20% in normal
values) and platelet count < 50,000/mm3

your skin and your clothing whenever going out
in infected area.
 Reducing the number of natural and artificial
water-filled container habitats support breeding of
the mosquitoes. 
 Villagers are advised to avoid stagnant water
filling and are advised to always cover containers
filled with water. 
 During outbreaks, insecticides may be sprayed to
kill flying mosquitoes, applied to surfaces in and
around containers where the mosquitoes land. 
 For protection during outbreaks, clothing which
minimizes skin exposure to the day- biting vectors
is advised to the villagers. Wearing long sleeves
and pants minimizes the exposure of clothing to a
good extent.
