🌍 Monitoring Mosquitoes to Stop Dengue Spread in Santo Domingo

Dengue fever continues to pose a serious public health threat in tropical regions, and Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas in Ecuador is no exception. 🌧️🌡️ Through focused entomological surveillance, researchers are closely monitoring mosquito populations to understand how Aedes aegypti — the primary dengue vector — thrives in urban and peri-urban environments. Regular larval surveys, ovitrap monitoring, and habitat mapping help identify breeding hotspots, allowing health authorities to predict outbreaks and intervene early.

Recent findings reveal an added concern: the establishment of Aedes albopictus, commonly known as the Asian tiger mosquito. 🐯🦟 This invasive species is highly adaptable, capable of surviving in diverse ecological settings, and can transmit multiple arboviruses including dengue, chikungunya, and Zika. Its coexistence with A. aegypti increases transmission risks, complicates vector control strategies, and may expand disease spread into new communities and rural areas.

Strengthening surveillance systems and community participation is therefore essential. 🤝🏘️ Eliminating stagnant water, improving waste management, and promoting public awareness can significantly reduce breeding sites. By combining scientific monitoring with local action, Ecuador can better protect vulnerable populations and build resilience against future dengue outbreaks. 🌍✨
