Overview

  • Hermosillo authorities have launched year-round spatial fumigation and entomological surveys using ovitrampas and household inspections to map mosquito densities in high-risk zones.
  • Jalisco’s health secretariat is executing its “Lava, Tapa, Voltea y Tira” campaign with identifiable fumigation and larval-control brigades whose credentials can be verified through the Sin Dengue app.
  • Michoacán’s health secretary is reinforcing basic sanitation and larval-control actions across eight jurisdictions with house-to-house inspections and public site clean-ups.
  • Residents are being urged to cover water storage, invert or roof containers that collect rainwater and discard household items that serve as mosquito breeding sites.
  • Officials recommend daily use of mosquito repellent and wearing long-sleeved, light-colored clothing to protect against Aedes aegypti bites.
