Environmental Specialist at the University of São Paulo Cortés:Dengue fever is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, which are very fond of hot and humid environments. Since the emergence of the El Niño phenomenon last year, we have known that at this stage, there may be more serious epidemics such as dengue fever in Brazil.
Reporter Wang Yuguo:The Brazilian health authorities have also made suggestions for improvement based on the current weather conditions, such as the fact that it has been raining a lot lately, and a layer of sand should be sprinkled in a pot like this one, which will reduce the accumulation of water and greatly reduce the possibility of mosquito breeding.
