Mysore/Mysuru: With the city and district reporting an increasing number of vector-borne diseases such as fever, dengue, chikungunya and malaria in the past few days, the District Vector-borne Diseases Control Officer Dr. S. Chidambara has appealed the public to ensure that water does not get stagnated near their houses or buildings.
In a press release, Dr. Chidambara said there is every chance that vector-borne diseases may spread further due to multiplication of mosquitoes, which breed from stagnant water. Noting that Aedes species of mosquitoes are the main spreaders of the deadly epidemic, he said that the co-operation of people is must for checking the breed of mosquitoes.
