Just as the Monsoon was heartily welcomed to
pacify the heat waves, it became the cause of
mushrooming mosquito breeding grounds in the
national capital- New Delhi. The city was
engulfed with mosquito-borne diseases like
Malaria, Chikungunya and Dengue. One of the
reports stated that more than 2,600 cases of
Chikingunya virus have been reported from Delhi
alone, from the start of 2016 until September 17,
2016.

Clasped in the gnaws of deadly mosquitoes, Delhi
mourned the deaths of many with no proper
facilities to accommodate the victims in the
hospitals. Not just Delhi, many other metro
cities were equally affected by the buzzing
beats. It was found out that climate change,
rapid urbanization and lack of sanitary waste
management system led to such a grave situation
in the country. As per one of the researches,
mosquito-borne diseases are prevalent in more
than 100, infecting 300-500 million people and
causing around 1 million deaths every year.

Malaria, the life-threatening disease is too a
pestering problem in the country and the deaths
due to it has been a matter of constant dispute
between the government and global development
agencies. Malaria in India is more found in
tribal, hilly and inaccessible areas. For this
very reason, on February 11, 2016, India launched
an ambitious programme to eliminate malaria by
2017. The World Health Organisations (WHO) came
up with an alarming report that India accounts
for 75 of all malaria cases in South-East
Asia.Zika Virus, West Nile Virus, St. Louis
Encephalitis are other types of mosquito-borne
diseases. Zika was first identified in Uganda in
1947 and is transmitted by the Aedes mosquitoes,
the same kind of mosquito responsible for Dengue,
Chikungunya and yellow fewer. Zika virus is found
in blood, semen, urine and saliva of the person.
Also, if the pregnant mother is infected with
Zika, it can pass on the fetus. Zika has badly
hit the Americas and the Carribean, with
Singapore and Malayasia also being the victims.
