Use proper initiatives to prevent malaria, says DHO
District Health Officer (DHO) Mahesh Biradar has said that it is everyone's duty to prevent and eradicate malaria with proper initiatives. He was addressing the audience after flagging off an awareness drive on 'World Malaria Day' in Yadgir on Friday. The primary and most common cause of malaria is the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito. These mosquitoes carry the Plasmodium parasite in their saliva. Areas with stagnant water, like ponds or containers, can become breeding grounds for mosquitoes, increasing the risk of malaria transmission, Dr. Biradar said, adding that the mosquitoes should be destroyed at the larva stage to curb the spread of malaria. The drive began at Gandhi Circle and concluded at the DHO's office, passing through major roads. Vector Borne Disease Control Officer M.A. Sajid said that one should get tested immediately after experiencing symptoms like fever, chills, discomfort, headache, nausea and vomiting, abdominal or muscle pain and undergo necessary treatment. Dr. Sajid also appealed to the people to ensure cleanliness in the surroundings.
