Agartala, Sep 05, 2012 : The state government issued caution of dengue in Tripura in the face of steadily rising deaths from the disease in West Bengal. Dr. Satya Ranjan Debbarma - Director of the Tripura Health Services, RK Dhar – Director of Family Welfare and Preventive Medicine, Professor Basudeb Bhattacharya – Director of Medical Education said in a press conference on Wednesday that the state government has asked the centre to facilitate immediate survey on dengue in different districts of Tripura. The last survey on dengue in Tripura was held in 2009-2010.
A comparatively small and black & white striped mosquito - Aedes aegypti causes the disease. Stating that Tripura doesnt have any identified presence of the mosquito till date, the officials stated that the fact has reduced possibilities of dengue attack to a large extent in the state. However, they asked the people of the state top stay aware of any scopes of spreading the disease including possible contagion from outside the state. 27 people have died from dengue infection in the last few weeks in West Bengal and over thousands are ill.
