Las Tunas. - The specialists of Center of Hygiene and Epidemiology in Las Tunas eastern province asserts that the territory doesn't report endemic cases of dengue since 2006, as result of a

constant battle against its transmitter, the mosquito Aedes Aegypti.

The proximity of Las Tunas to the territories of Guantanamo and Santiago de Cuba, with high rates of infestation of the vector, is an incentive factor to strengthen the preventive measures at home and at work, as main objective to be encouraged here by who boost a sanitation campaign.

All the efforts are centered in the municipality of Manati and in this provincial capital, due to the high level this kind of mosquito, and the professionals who arrive from regions where the dengue is an endemic epidemic are being watched to detect the illness.

The specialists also assert that the biggest quantity of hatcheries of mosquitoes appear in artificial deposits at the different patios that must be verified systematically.

In this campaign the most important thing is not to eliminate the mosquito as species, but to continue fomenting the combined works between the different social sectors so that the larvae disappear on time or much better to eradicate the places that favor its living conditions.
