HAVANA, June 1 (Juan Carlos Linares, Cuba-Verdad / www.cubanet.org) -
Shortly after the official announcement that the campaign to erradicate the
mosquito responsible for the transmission of dengue fever was successfully
concluded, new sources of infection and accumulated trash have been found in
Santos Suárez, a neighborhood in the municipality of Diez de Octubre,
Havana.
"One of these was discovered outside the Pasteur polyclinic the morning
of May 29," said a source who works in the Public Health field.
The source of contamination was detected in a tank by the vehicle entrance
of the clinic.
Garbage pick-up has also become more irregular, and deposits of refuse are
starting to accumulate in street corners.
"The re-apparition of breeding grounds for the mosquito shows that the
priority assigned by the government to the erradication campaign was temporary,"
said one local resident.
