Mosquito control operations launched in France and Senegal
Public health authorities are implementing mosquito control measures in France and Senegal to combat vector-borne diseases.
In France, a dengue fever alert has prompted a large-scale disinfection operation in a neighborhood within the Maine-et-Loire region. This includes planned insecticide spraying to mitigate the spread of the virus.
In Senegal, the city of Touba has launched its second annual campaign to combat mosquito larvae. The operation, which began on October 9, 2026, targets rainwater retention basins and other stagnant water sites to prevent the spread of malaria, particularly during the rainy season.
