aedes mosquito spreads Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever, DHF, to man.

The officials found a lot of pots, bottles and vases holding flowers at the
graves left there by people visiting the graves of their relatives. These containers
had eventually accumulated rain water and they soon became breeding grounds
for these mosquitoes. Those living near cemeteries also became victims of dengue
fever. Sadly it was the death of a caretaker of a cemeteries that romoted the
officials to investigate the surroundings near his house. This had led to the
discovery of cemeteries as a breeding ground for aedes mosquitoes.

Since this discovery, the Health Department has appealed to the caretakers
and the different associations in charge of graveyards to clear all containers left at
graves as quickly as possible. The numbers of dengue cases notified was highest

strengthening dengue prevention and control by holding talks, shows, fogging
housing estates and conducting checks at homes.

means “earth shaker.”

The modern Romance languages include the national languages: Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Rumanian.
