Preventive Measures to control Dengue Fever

No Comments Sub Category:Pest Control Posted On: Sep 09, 2010

Dengue fever is a disease caused by a family of viruses that are transmitted by mosquitoes. Dengue is spread by the bite of an ‘Ades’ Mosquito. This mosquito bites the infected person and then bites someone else who is not affected thus transmitting the infection. As far as the treatment is concerned there is no specific course. However the affected person is treated with Paracetamol to bring down the fever. The person is usually recommended to drink lots of fluids.
