The viruses that cause dengue fever and Zika are carried by the Aedes mosquito. As the bite of an infective Aedes mosquito
spreads diseases, it is crucial to prevent its breeding. The
Aedes mosquito is easily identifiable by the distinctive black and
white stripes on its body. It prefers to breed in clean, stagnant water easily found in our homes. You can get rid of the
Aedes
mosquito by frequently checking and removing stagnant water in your premises. For more information, please visit the National Environment Agency's (NEA) website
