Las consecuencias del calentamiento global sigue demostrando que la alteración del los factores abióticos puede traducirse en la aparición de enfermedades emergentes en lugares donde nunca ha existido, como el dengue al sur de Francia, siendo esa zona subtropical con posible migración hacia al norte. Se sugiere planificar, de acuerdo a su realidad, y efectuar actividades de mitigación del impacto, así como prevención y control vectorial enfocado en familias y comunidades saludables, siempre observando el comportamiento del vector, no solo del paciente. No permitan que el dengue se instaure en su localidad.
The consequences of global warming continue to show that the alteration of abiotic factors can result in the appearance of emerging diseases in places where it has never existed, such as dengue in the south of France, this being a subtropical zone with possible migration to the north. It is suggested to plan, according to your reality, and carry out impact mitigation activities, as well as vector prevention and control focused on healthy families and communities, always observing the behavior of the vector, not just the patient. Do not allow dengue to settle in your town.
