![]() Networking of various agencies involved in the efforts is also crucial. “Instead, an integrated mosquito management using physical, chemical and biological methods should have been taken up. ![]() The uni-dimensional method of using only chemicals to curb mosquito menace, perhaps, was the reason for this, the researchers surmise. The density was 2000 to 2100 larvae per dip of water in these localities on an average while the normal limit is less than 200 larvae per dip of water. The samples were taken from East Godavari, Nellore, Srikakulam and areas near by lakes and ponds. The laboratory officials found large density of mosquito larvae in the water samples collected from different districts.

The intensified antilarval measures taken up by the civic authorities during the recent outbreak of chikungunya and dengue in the rural India do not seem to have had a positive impact.
