🦟 **Mitigating the Risk of Dengue: Key Preventive Measures** 🦟 As vector-borne diseases like dengue become more prevalent during this season, it is imperative that we implement evidence-based preventive strategies to safeguard public health. The attached infographic provides a detailed overview of essential *Do’s and Don’ts* for dengue prevention: - Eliminate potential mosquito breeding sites by ensuring the removal of stagnant water in and around the home. - Utilize effective insect repellents containing DEET or picaridin on exposed skin. - Maintain mosquito-proof environments by keeping windows and doors screened, especially during peak mosquito activity periods at dawn and dusk. Proactive engagement in these measures is crucial to reducing the incidence of dengue. Let's prioritize these actions to protect our communities. #DenguePrevention #PublicHealth #VectorControl #Epidemiology #CommunityHealth #PM1

The World Health Organization https://lnkd.in/eASE6ACY published a latest report on the global dengue situation. One aspect beside others of the report shows that since the beginning of 2023, ongoing transmission, combined with an unexpected spike in dengue cases have resulted in close to a historic high of over five million cases and more than 5000 dengue-related deaths reported in over 80 countries/territories and five WHO regions: Africa, Americas, South-East Asia, Western Pacific and Eastern Mediterranean Regions globally.

Plant epidemiology basic tools and application for plant diseases management.
One practical application of plant disease #epidemiology is to predict disease occurrences to guide timely management interventions, reducing crop damage and rationalizing pesticide use. Since the early to mid 1900s, warning systems (synonyms: disease forecaster, predictor) have advanced considerably. More comprehensively, these systems have evolved to a Decision Support System (DSS), when they integrate expert input, models, and databases for more nuanced management recommendations, transcending simple predictions to encompass various goals within computerized frameworks. In fact, technological progress in recent decades has boosted the development and automation of DSSs, now widely available in public and private sectors, providing direct, sophisticated guidance to crop advisors and growers.
