João Pessoa intensifies mosquito control efforts
The Municipal Health Secretariat of João Pessoa, Brazil, has intensified its efforts to combat the Aedes aegypti mosquito. This response follows concerns that rising temperatures and rainfall patterns associated with El Niño are creating ideal conditions for the proliferation of vectors that transmit dengue, zika, and chikungunya.
Health officials in the coastal city are implementing integrated monitoring and control measures. These include health education programs targeting students from preschool through high school in both public and private networks to encourage early prevention habits.
