കേരളം ‍ഡ‍െങ്കി പിടിയിൽ; മഴക്കാലത്തുമാത്രമല്ല, വർഷം മുഴുവൻ നിലനിൽക്കുന്നു; മുൻവർഷത്തെക്കാൾ രോഗികൾ

According to a recent report by Mathrubhumi News, the state of Kerala is facing a persistent challenge with dengue fever, as the disease has shifted from being a seasonal monsoon-related issue to a year-round health concern. Health officials have observed a significant increase in the number of reported cases compared to the previous year, signaling a shift in the epidemiological pattern of the virus across the state.

The report emphasizes that the traditional reliance on monsoon-specific health interventions may no longer be sufficient to curb the spread of the disease. With cases appearing throughout the year, authorities are being urged to adopt more consistent, long-term vector control strategies to manage mosquito breeding sites and public awareness campaigns.

Public health experts suggest that changing climate patterns and urbanization may be contributing to the year-round prevalence of dengue in the region. As the state continues to grapple with these rising numbers, local health departments are expected to intensify surveillance and community-based prevention programs to mitigate the impact on the population.
