Identifying New Common Mosquito Breeding Sites in Flood-Affected Areas of Shahdara South Zone of MCD and Adopted Strategies for Preventing and Controlling Dengue Malaria Cases in the Year 2023

Abstract

Flooding significantly alters ecosystems, creating new potential habitats
for mosquitoes. These changes can increase the risk of vector-borne
diseases such as malaria, dengue, and chikungunya. This paper discusses
a case study of a Yamuna flood-affected area in Delhi to identify new
common mosquito breeding sites and adopted strategies for the
prevention and control of vector-borne diseases. We have examined
the post-flooding environmental changes, the types of new breeding
sites, and proposed methods for the identification and control of these
sites to mitigate the associated health risks.
