The Metropolitan Area of Guadalajara (AMG) has several active cases of dengue. Among the population, the opinion is that cases have increased. But what is the map of infections in the city?
Dengue is transmitted by the bite of a mosquito infected with one of the four serotypes of the virus. Therefore, the breeding grounds of this insect, which are the artifacts or spaces that store water, are potentially dangerous.

Dengue is a serious problem for Jalisco. The Entity occupies first place in cases in the country, with more than nine thousand 700, according to the federal Ministry of Health until the end of October. The bad news is that this disease continues to spread.
For this reason, the State Ministry of Health has constantly deployed brigades in all the colonies of the AMG, particularly in 21, where most of the infections have been concentrated.
Among the measures, personnel from the agency approach homes and remove junk and objects that could be mosquito breeding grounds, as well as the mobilization of trucks that fumigate for several hours a day.
However, insecticides and brigades are not enough to eliminate the mosquito that transmits the disease, so citizens must do their part to eliminate Aedes aegypti, supporting from their homes or lands to remove objects where the mosquito that transmits the disease could reproduce, said Ángel Nuño, deputy general director of Programs for the Jalisco Health Services.
