Special attention has been placed on the elimination of breeding sites, in and around the home, as activities have been undertaken by the Vector Control Unit of the Ministry of Public Health for Mosquito Awareness Week 2018.
Mosquito Awareness Week is an effort by Guyana and territories of the America, promoted by PAHO, to raise awareness and to work with communities on links between mosquitoes and the diseases they transmit such as Dengue, Chikungunya, Zika, Yellow Fever, Filaria and Malaria.
The slogan under which the observances are being held is, “Join the fight eliminate breeding sites; Fight the bite, destroy mosquito breeding sites.”
