With recent rainfall, the risk of mosquito breeding has increased, leading to a higher threat of dengue fever. Health organizations emphasize the importance of reducing breeding sites and maintaining cleanliness to prevent the spread of dengue. In Rome, unusual breeding sites have been identified, underscoring the adaptability of mosquitoes to human environments. Although the likelihood of widespread dengue transmission is currently low, vigilance and public education are crucial. Scientists from Italy, including those from SapienzaRoma, are working on predicting the spread of dengue and developing control measures to protect communities in the WHO/Europe Region. Preventive measures include eliminating stagnant water and ensuring proper cleanliness of containers.
