knowledge about dengue mosquitoes !

Every one knows that dengue mosquitoes bite in the morning; that it does not fly more then 200 meters; that it has white lines on its legs; that like all other mosquitoes it also breeds in stagnant but clear water. 

Morning means only lighted areas, the dark corner of house like in verandah, lighted office or house room, under a tree, in parks under trees, in markets, bus stops, in cars, in buses etc. 

Dengue mosquito is very clever, very quick in its action, fairly small. As soon as a person comes in its place, within seconds it attacks him very cleverly either in legs or from top on cheeks or from sides on arms. One has to be cautious to detect its presence. It is easier to detect it on the other person, make him cautious of its presence. 

People are unaware of bite of dengue mosquitoes. We have to learn to detect it,make a habbit of looking for it where ever we go, teach others about it.This can reduce the number of dengue cases. Any small mosquito biting a person in the lighted areas is a dengue mosquito. To confirm it one has to kill a mosquito in day time with a cloth / with a racket / with black hit and examine for white spots on its legs by examining it on a black surface with a magnifying glass.
