Aedes egypti mosquitoes swarm Kerala, authorities are not bothered



I have been amused by reports emanating from Brazil that the military personnel have been deployed in Rio to make measures to control the spread of mosquitoes.

They go from house to house with insecticides to kill the menacing flies.

The Aedes egypti variety causes a lot of diseases like dengue fever, chikun gunia, debilitating guillain-barre syndrome and now Zika. Brazil is shattered by the outbreak of Zika virus. There is no treatment for the disease.
In Kerala, roads and public places and households are piled up with wastes and rotten stuff. This situation is game for outbreak of the dreaded diseases.


The authorities should take measures to wipe out the mosquitoes.
