Muzaffarpur. Winter has started, but the havoc of dengue is not decreasing. Seven to eight new cases are being found every day. According to health experts, dengue mosquitoes can survive even at temperatures above 24 degrees Celsius. Dengue virus can be spread by biting people, but the way patients are being found these days. This assumption is being proved wrong. Even today, the same number of new cases are coming as number of patients were being received till a month ago. Temperature fluctuations do not seem to have any effect on the spread of dengue.
It is difficult to say when the spread of dengue will stop completely.
Doctors say that every year the spread of dengue started decreasing after Diwali, but now Chhath has also ended, but new cases of dengue are being found continuously. However, something can be said in this regard only after research. District Vector Borne Disease Control Officer Dr. Satish Kumar says that earlier the spread of dengue used to reduce even in mild cold, but now it is not so. Dengue mosquitoes become less after the temperature falls. It is possible that a case may be found in January also. It is difficult to say when the spread of dengue will stop completely. Physician Dr. Amit Kumar says that diseases are also increasing with time. The way climate change is happening, old notions are coming to an end.
Eight new dengue patients found
Eight new dengue patients were found in the district on Thursday. These include two patients from Meenapur, two from Mushahari, one from Aurai, one from Sakra and two from urban areas.
