Bangladesh is facing a renewed dengue threat as Aedes mosquitoes, the primary carriers of the virus, continue to spread from urban to rural areas. Public health experts, including Professor Mushtaq Hossain, have emphasized that eliminating Aedes mosquitoes is crucial to controlling dengue outbreaks, but current efforts remain insufficient. The Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR) reported around 77,000 dengue hospitalizations and 307 deaths so far this year, following a record 350,000 cases and nearly 2,000 deaths in 2023. Entomologists note that Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes can be identified by their black-and-white striped bodies and hairy antennae. These mosquitoes typically breed in clean, stagnant water found in flower pots, containers, or urban gardens, though recent studies show they can adapt to polluted water as well. Experts warn that climate change and rapid urbanization are accelerating the spread of dengue across Bangladesh, making community engagement and preventive measures more urgent than ever.
