Control Vector! Imam Rahadian S Universitas Indonesia
Our earth now is having a phenomenon named climate change. This phenomenon often called global warming where the climate on earth are changing caused by green house effect causing increased of earth temperature in a few decade. This condition is makes the vector( pathogen carry agent) in a good position. In this case, the vector was the mosquitoes because they grow better on warm environment. Why mosquitoes? Because in WHO( World Health Organization) data, mosquitoes are killing more than one million people a year from their transmitted virus like malaria, dengue and yellow fever. 1 recently we got a hot issue about zika virus who is transmitted by mosquito as a vector.
They are several easy things we can do to controlling vector. We can control mosquito breeding cycle or our behavior itself. To control mosquito breeding cycle we can remove anything that collect water. When I said about out behavior is taking care of ourself from mosquito bitten. For prevent mosquito bitten we can cover up our skin from mosquito by wearing proper suit.
I hope this poster might increasing our awareness for controlling population of the vector itself. Refrence:
