DENGUE-CURRENT STATUS IN PAKISTAN
Journal Title: European Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
The earth’s climate has always been changing. The impacts of climate change include biodiversity losses, rise in sea levels, shifts in weather patterns, changes in freshwater supply and an increase in extreme weather events such as floods and droughts as well as glacial melting and various health impacts. Major concerns are the threats to food, water, health and energy security. Pakistan is vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Coping with ‘Dengue’ correctly is biggest challenge at the moment for people of Pakistan. Subsequent infection with a different type increases the risk of severe complications. As there is no vaccine, prevention is sought by reducing the habitat and the number of mosquitoes and limiting exposure to bites. All over Pakistan the spray campaigns have been run by provincial governments to eradicate the dengue fever but Punjab government seem to be struggling in getting rid of the dengue mosquito, its told that use substandard spray material does not turned out effective in eradicating the mosquitoes in Punjab and this contributed to dengue fever outreach.
