Inkcazo emfutshane: • Lo nyaka uphawula okokuqala ngqa ukuba kuthotywe amathontsi emichiza ephuma emoyeni kwisithili.• Injongo kukuncedisa ekunqandeni ukusasazeka kwezifo ezinokuthi zibe kho ziingcongconi.• Ukusukela ngo-2017, akukho ngaphezu kwe-3 abantu abaye bavavanywa ukuba banayo ngonyaka.
ISithili saseSan Diego siceba ukuqhuba i-larvicide yokuqala yesiqhelo ehamba emoyeni kwiindlela zamanzi zasekhaya ezingama-52 kulo nyaka ukunqanda iingcongconi ekusasazeni izifo ezinokuthi zibekho njengentsholongwane ye-West Nile.
Amagosa e-County athi ii-helicopter ziya kuhlaizibulali zinambuzaneukuba kuyimfuneko ngoLwesithathu nangoLwesine ukuze kugutyungelwe phantse iihektare ezili-1,400 zeendawo ekunzima ukufikelela kuzo iingcongconi ezinokuzalela kuzo.
Emva kokuba intsholongwane ye-West Nile yavela ekuqaleni kweminyaka yoo-2000, idolophu yaqala ukusebenzisa iihelikopta ukuwisa i-larvicide eqinileyo yegranular kwiindawo ekunzima ukufikelela kuzo kumanzi amileyo emilanjeni, imilambo, amachibi kunye neminye imizimba yamanzi apho iingcongconi zinokuzalana.Idolophu ikhupha izimbumbulu eziphuma emoyeni phantse kanye ngenyanga ukusuka kuEpreli ukuya kuOkthobha.
I-Larvicide ayizukwenzakalisa abantu okanye izilwanyana zasekhaya, kodwa iya kubulala imibungu yeengcongconi ngaphambi kokuba ikhule ibe ziingcongconi ezilumayo.
Intsholongwane yeWest Nile ikakhulu sisifo seentaka.Nangona kunjalo, iingcongconi zinokusasaza intsholongwane enokuba yingozi ebantwini ngokutya kwiintaka ezosulelekileyo kwaye zilume abantu.
Impembelelo yentsholongwane ye-West Nile kwiNqila yaseSan Diego ibinobulali kakhulu kule minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo.Ukusukela ngo-2017, akukho bantu bangaphezulu kwesithathu abaye bavavanywa ukuba banayo ngonyaka.Kodwa kuseyingozi kwaye abantu kufuneka baziphephe iingcongconi.
I-Larvicidal drops yinxalenye kuphela yesicwangciso esibanzi sokulawula i-vector.Amasebe olawulo lwenqila alawula malunga ne-1,600 yeendawo ezinokuzalanisa iingcongconi nyaka ngamnye kwaye afake imibungu ebulala imibungu esebenzisa iindlela ezahlukeneyo (emoyeni, isikhephe, iilori, kunye nesandla).Ikwabonelela uluntu ngeentlanzi ezitya iingcongconi simahla, ijonga kwaye inyange amadama okuqubha alahliweyo, ivavanya iintaka ezifileyo kwintsholongwane ye-West Nile, kwaye ibeke iliso kwiingcongconi kwizifo ezinokuthi zisasazwe ziingcongconi.
Amagosa olawulo lwezilwanyana engingqini akwakhumbuza abantu ukuba bazikhusele kwiingcongconi ngaphakathi nakufutshane namakhaya abo ngokufumana nokukhupha amanzi amileyo ukuze bathintele izinambuzane ukuba zingazalani.
Iinzame zokuthintela iingcongconi ziya kufuna uncedo oluthe kratya loluntu kwiminyaka yakutshanje njengoko iintlobo ezininzi ezintsha zeengcongconi ze-Aedes ezihlaselayo zizinzile apha.Ezinye zezi ngcongconi, ukuba zithe zasulelwa ngokuluma umntu ogulayo zize zityise abanye, zinokusasaza izifo ezingekhoyo apha, eziquka iZika, idengue fever kunye ne-chikungunya.Iingcongconi ze-Aedes ezihlaselayo zikhetha ukuhlala kwaye zizale kufutshane nemizi yabantu kunye neeyadi.
Amagosa olawulo lwe-vector County athi indlela efanelekileyo yokuba abantu bazikhusele kwiingcongconi kukulandela izikhokelo "zokuThintela, ukuKhusela, ukubika".
Lahla okanye ukhuphe nantoni na engaphakathi okanye ngaphandle kwekhaya lakho enokubamba amanzi, njengeembiza zeentyatyambo, iigatha, iiemele, iinkonkxa zenkunkuma, izinto zokudlala, amatayara amadala neekiliva.Iintlanzi zeengcongconi zifumaneka simahla ngenkqubo yokulawula ingcongconi kwimithombo yamanzi emileyo kwiigadi zasemakhaya ezifana namadama okuqubha angakhathalelwanga, amachibi, imithombo kunye nemikhombe yamahashe.
Zikhusele kwizifo ezisasazwa ziingcongconi ngokunxiba impahla enemikhono emide kunye neebhulukhwe okanye usebenzise into yokugxotha izinambuzane xa ungaphandle.Sebenzisa isigxothi sezinambuzane esiquletheDEET, picaridin, ioli ye-lemon eucalyptus, okanye i-IR3535.Qinisekisa ukuba izikrini zocango kunye neefestile zikwimeko entle kwaye zikhuselwe ukuthintela ukungena kwezinambuzane.
To report increased mosquito activity, stagnant, unmaintained swimming pools and other mosquito breeding grounds, and dead birds (dead crows, crows, jays, hawks and owls) to the County Department of Environmental Conservation and Quality’s Vector Control Program , please report this. call (858) 694-2888 or email Vector@sdcounty.ca.gov.
Ukuba ikhaya lakho livavanyelwe amanzi amileyo kwaye usafumana iingxaki zeengcongconi, ungaqhagamshelana neNkqubo yoLawulo lweVector (858) 694-2888 kwaye ucele ukuhlolwa kweengcongconi ezifundisayo.
Ukufumana ulwazi oluthe kratya malunga nezifo ezithwalwa ziingcongconi, ndwendwela iSan Diego County Fight Bites iwebhusayithi.Nanga amanye amacebiso okunceda ukukhusela iyadi yakho ekubeni ibe yindawo yokuzalela iingcongconi.
