Mysuru: There has been a slight spurt in Dengue cases in Mysuru and eight confirmed Dengue cases within city and rural limits. Climate change could increase the spread of the disease, say officials.
Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne illness which can cause fever, severe joint pain and internal bleeding. An entomological survey and inspections carried out in various localities found that the percentage of households with presence of mosquito eggs and larvae is alarmingly high, suggesting a high risk of transmission and increased cases of Dengue.
