"The mosquito has mutated, there have been changes to it. We said that did not survive in high places and we've seen. We find in Queretaro, Hidalgo, Mexico state," he said.
"The mosquito has changed their life cycle. There have been mutations, became resistant. When did this problem in Sinaloa, where the first fall breeze that was it for dengue and now it seems that dengue has established its defense mechanisms as Every living organism and has adapted to the circumstances we have, "he said.
According to history, he said, dengue is its peak in November, although the temperatures begin their descent. Previously it was believed that the cold disappeared dengue because reproduction need warm temperatures, but this is no guarantee to the mutation of the insect.
"You can not trust the temperatures, must have clean houses," urged the Secretary.
And is that the mosquitoes breed in any stagnant water, so is a bottle caps. It is therefore important that citizens keep their yards clean.
