Dengue Cases Likely To Surge In J&K, Say Experts
Srinagar- As dengue cases are projected to surge post monsoon in Jammu and Kashmir, medical experts on Tuesday advised people to take ‘preemptive measures’ to combat the painful mosquito-borne disease in the absence of any vaccine.
Although dengue fever, usually caused by a virus carried by infected mosquitoes, has always been a serious health concern for the people, experts say there is no vaccine available for the disease and that using insect repellents and bed nets is the best possible remedy to protect themselves from falling prey to the virus.
While 6-7 cases of dengue have so far been reported in the Kashmir valley, as many as 25 people have tested positive in the Jammu division of the Union Territory.
