Marco Três newsroom · edited by Annie Grellmann
Rapid Aedes aegypti Index survey runs until July 31
Puerto Iguazú, Argentina, launched on Monday, July 27, the LIRAa Operation, which will tour city neighborhoods until July 31 to identify potential breeding sites of the dengue-transmitting mosquito. The action integrates municipal, state and federal efforts to prevent vector-borne diseases.
The survey was officially presented at 9:30 a.m. on the site of the former Municipal Camping. Vector-control teams will map infestation levels, identify high-risk zones and guide targeted interventions to reduce the circulation of Aedes aegypti.
Public Health Ministry officials emphasized that resident participation is essential for the operation’s success. The community is invited to welcome the agents and continue eliminating containers that collect water.
The recommendations remain the same: discard unused containers, clean homes by removing objects that hold water, and keep yards and outdoor spaces free of standing water. According to officials, "the best way to fight dengue is to anticipate the problem and prevent it. Prevention starts in each household and is strengthened by the commitment of the entire community."
