Mayabeque, Cuba: Despite the constant work of the Public Health personnel in Jaruco, together with other institutions, to eradicate the proliferation of the Aedes Aegypti mosquito, in February the infestation index increased compared to the previous month with the identification of 6 focus.
For this reason, in the territory they give priority to fumigation and focal treatment every seven days in the areas of greatest risk.
The head of the Department of Hygiene and Epidemiology at the Noelio Capote Comprehensive Teaching Polyclinic in the municipality, Tania Salgado Hernández, explained that this high indicator leads to a greater risk of the spread of the vector that causes diseases such as Dengue and Zika.
