Mosquito-borne disease prevention in Mexico

Overview

Health authorities in Mexico have initiated various measures to combat mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue, chikungunya, and zika.

In Coahuila, the Ministry of Health has intensified fumigation and larval control efforts across multiple cities, including Torreón, Saltillo, and Monclova, to prevent the reproduction of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Sanitary brigades are conducting scheduled interventions in various residential areas.

In Sinaloa, the Ahome Municipal Health Directorate is preparing for the launch of the Second National Campaign against dengue, chikungunya, and zika. While officials note that fumigation and breeding site elimination are permanent weekly activities, this campaign aims to intensify efforts, particularly in sectors like Las Canteras and Las Margaritas which have historically shown high mosquito activity.
