Water-logging: The Prime Factors in Causing Dengue and Malaria Good morning my dear students; today I am going to talk to you about malaria and dengue as these fatal disease strike people during the months of September and October the most. Thousands of people are infected every year with these diseases and the fatality rate is quite high. So I am going to talk about prevention measures to stay safe from these two monsters. Both the diseases are caused by several species of mosquitoes. Though effective medication is available, but it is quite expensive. Wise men have always said: “Prevention is better than cure.’ Dengue and malaria can be kept by not letting any water logging. Since every year after the torrential rains during the monsoons, lots of water gets logged. The aedes and aegypti types of the mosquitoes proliferate in logged water. Make sure there is no old water in coolers, or any other containers in or around your homes. Secondly, keep your body as much covered as is possible by wearing full sleeve shirts and shoes. I hope you will take the said preventions and stay healthy. That’s all for today.
