SINGAPORE: The first quarter of this year saw a three-fold increase in the number of dengue cases compared to the same period in 2018, the National Environment Agency said in a media release on Sunday .NEA said even though it detected seven per cent less Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in March 2019, compared to in March 2018, it found from its Gravitrap surveillance system that the mosquito population remained high.
It expects an increasing trend in dengue cases in the warmer months ahead, if active steps are not taken to keep the mosquito population in check. About 50,000 Gravitraps have been deployed islandwide by NEA to monitor the Aedes mosquito population in Singapore. Through the deployment of the Gravitrap surveillance system, NEA said it was able to remove 21 per cent more mosquito breeding habitats last year, compared to 2017.
