guangdong province has entered the dengue fever epidemic season, and the risk of epidemic transmission is gradually increasing. in august, guangdong reported 1,220 cases of dengue fever, an increase of 987 cases from july.

according to guangdong centers for disease controlfrom september 9 to 15, 775 new cases of dengue fever were reported in the province., an increase of 73 cases from last week, including 768 local cases and 7 imported cases, with no new severe cases or deaths.

during these six days, foshan reported 296 local cases of dengue fever, becoming the city with the most reported cases among prefecture-level cities in guangdong province during the same period.at present, foshan has taken a series of measures to strictly prevent and control the dengue fever epidemic.

zhao wei, an emergency management expert in guangzhou and director of the biosafety research center of the school of public health of southern medical university, said that dengue fever in guangzhou is mainly transmitted by aedes albopictus. guangzhou has experienced heavy rains for several days, which is conducive to the growth and reproduction of aedes mosquitoes. the density of aedes mosquitoes (breto index) is directly related to the risk of dengue fever, so rainfall will increase the risk of dengue fever outbreaks. "in the past, guangzhou has a high incidence of dengue fever in summer and autumn every year, which is superimposed on the rainfall in guangzhou. the recent dengue fever epidemic in southeast asia is relatively serious, and there is a high risk of local transmission after being imported into guangzhou."
