Santiago del Estero: New ?super mosquito? raises concern
Posted on28 December 2009 at 15:19
he residents of the town of La Banda, Santiago del Estero Province, are concerned about the appearance of a mosquito of a size never seen before. They call it the ?supermosquito.?
As reported by the Nuevo Diario Web, a resident of the area said: ?There are more mosquitoes, we are afraid. We do not know if it has to do with dengue or if it is poisonous. Fumigated We called for the municipality to fumigate and clean all breeding grounds for these mosquitoes. ?
Diego Torres, member of the City Commission for the Prevention of Dengue told a local radio station that this ?supermosquito? is not related to the Aedes aegypti, the mosquito that transmits dengue fever.
But the neighbors are concerned about the new species and complain because certain services are not running as expected: there is no garbage collection or completion of certain works, which leaves pools of stagnant water.
Meanwhile, Thompson confirmed that a specimen was forwarded to the provincial Ministry of Health for analysis.
