		+	''Four Deaths Reported Against 10 Each In Last 2 Yrs''
		+
		+	Delhi has recorded 2,774 cases of dengue in 2018, (as on December 18, 2018) — the lowest since 2014 when 895 cases of the mosquito-borne disease were reported in the city. In 2015, 2016 and 2017, the cases shot up significantly, affecting 15,867, 4,431 and 4,726 people, respectively.
		+
		+	Dr B K Hazarika, the municipal health officer, told TOI that lower rainfall was an important factor for reduction in the count this year. “Other factors that could have influenced this positive trend are early screening of houses for mosquito breeding and increased awareness among people to keep their surroundings clean,” he added.
		+
		+	Dengue has been a major public health concern in Delhi with recurrent outbreaks, prompting people to rush to hospitals, particularly in the postmonsoon season when mosquito breeding is at its peak. In rare cases, the ailment can be fatal.
		+
		+	In 2015, 60 people died due to dengue in Delhi, as per the municipal data. But hospitals claimed that the actual figure was much higher. In 2016 and 2017, the corporation claimed 10 people each died due to dengue. This year, four deaths have been recorded so far.
		+
		+	Neena Valecha, director of National Institute of Malaria Research (NIMR), said less complications and the drop in the mortality rate was due to predominance of type-III strain of dengue virus. Dengue strains are of four types — type-I causes classic dengue fever, type-II leads to haemorrhagic fever with shock, type-III triggers fever without shock and type-IV results in fever without shock or profound shock.
		+
		+	The corporation data also shows that the number of chikungunya and malaria cases is significantly lower this year compared with previous years. Several factors, including temperature, moisture and rainfall, contribute to the rise in dengue cases, says an expert. The disease also follows a cyclical trend, which is well documented.
		+
		+	“We cannot say whether dengue cases will remain low or peak up next year. But we must be equally prepared to deal with any situation. Public support is also needed,” said Hazarika.
		+
		+	The average lifespan of an Aedes mosquito is two weeks, during which it can lay eggs three times. About 100 eggs are produced each time. According to entomologists, eggs can lie dormant in dry conditions for up to nine months after which they can hatch if exposed to favourable conditions, which is water and food.
		+
		+	“If the key habitats — overhead and curing tanks — are cleared of these eggs during the dry season, the chances of outbreaks during wet months can be reduced significantly. But the authorities alone cannot tackle the crisis,” said a municipal health officer.

 Experts say construction sites are a major area of mosquito-breeding followed by government buildings and water tanks. “In Mumbai, the municipal body, charges heavy fines if mosquitoes are found to be breeding at a site. The building’s completion certificate is stalled till the fine is paid. Similar steps should be taken in cities like Delhi,” said Dr Jagdish Prasad, director general of health services.
