Dakshina Kannada district reported 952 ‘line-listed’ cases of dengue from January 1 to August 31, there were 1,341 cases of malaria in the same period, said Dr Naveen.
He also mentioned that out of the total verified dengue and malaria cases 65% and 90% of them were reported from Mangalore City Corporation limits.
The various surveillance activities against these diseases reported that that most breeding of larvae happened in open terraces and external extended window sills. Several cases of larvae thriving were also found in trays of flower pots, both inside and outside homes and in gardens, overhead water tanks, and even in water trays of some old model refrigerators in homes.
