Dengue fever cases found in Padua, 17 streets urgently need to be disinfected, nearby residents should pay attention
Padua recently discovered another case of dengue fever. The patient lives on Filippo Lippi Road. He was infected while traveling abroad. This news was released by the Padua City Government based on a notification from the local Ulss 6 Euganea Health Department's Public Health Department. The municipal government said that so far, there have been no locally transmitted cases in the area.
In order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, disinfection and sterilization personnel have been specialized in killing Aedes albopictus (zanzara tigre, commonly known as piebald mosquito) within 200 meters around the patient's home since Sunday evening. This type of mosquito is the main vector for transmitting dengue virus. This disinfection and sterilization will spray medicine to kill adult mosquitoes and larvae, and will also clean up places where there may be water and mosquitoes.
The streets and squares affected this time, some are partial and some are complete, including: via Vincenzo Foppa, via Filippo Lippi, via Ansuino da Forl ì, via Gaetano Donizetti, Piazza Azzurri d'Italia, via Giovanni Paisiello, and via Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina. Igi da Palestrina, via Bernardino Luini, via Guido Reni, via Andrea Moroni, galleria San Carlo Via Antonio Zanchi, via Domenico Cimarosa, via Tiziano Aspetti, via Tommaso Temanza, and via Raffaele Lambruschini.
This operation was carried out in accordance with the regional guidelines for monitoring and controlling arboviruses. This guide has been extended until 2026. The on-site staff will also evaluate at any time according to the specific situation, and expand the scope of disinfection and sterilization if necessary.
The municipal government stressed that the thorough removal of larval breeding grounds, combined with targeted drug disinfection and sterilization, can greatly reduce the density of mosquitoes, effectively block the spread of virus, and reduce the risk of infection.
