One of the insects that is causing many problems for society is the mosquito, which is characterized by being present during the summer and the longest stay of these insects is that they feed on high temperatures. They can cause major health problems, as is the case of dengue, which has hit not only our country but the rest of South America. If you want to detect this insect that carries this virus with the mosquito, you should be attentive to these details.
As we well know, the mosquito that transmits the dengue virus and can even be fatal to people is the ‘Aedes Aegypti’ and that will not only carry this disease but also yellow fever. It is originally from Africa and in recent months, it has brought serious problems for some South American countries, such as Argentina and Chile.
Not only Argentina had thousands of cases of dengue during the last few months, but also this mosquito has arrived in our country. According to the latest data provided by the authorities, until last Wednesday, there were 179 infections. In relation to this, the head of the Department of Epidemiology of the Ministry of Health said: “Today in Chile there is no transmission of dengue, what does exist are important cases.”
In any case, the official explained how to differentiate the mosquito of the dengue, called ‘Aedes Aegypti’ with the mosquito. First of all, we must say that the mosquito is a common mosquito that can be seen everywhere, it has a brown color, but it is an even color. However, its bite is not as serious as the other mosquito can be.
As for the mosquito transmitter dengue, known as ‘Aedes Aegypti’, we must say that it is black and has white spots on its legs, making it very easy to differentiate. As for their abdomen, it is red because they are full of hemoglobin. Regarding the care that must be taken for those who travel abroad, it is to use repellent and if you present any symptoms, go to health centers.
