There is no vaccine available against this viral infection. It is imperative to take every precaution to avoid mosquito bites and to identify the sites contusive for mosquito-breeding.

A. To avoid mosquito bites:



Use clothes that cover limbs and body sufficiently,

Use mosquito repellents in plenty,

Use mosquito nets when sleeping, even during the day.

B. To prevent mosquito breeding:

Discard stagnant water in which Aedes mosquitoes breed. Stagnant Water in open containers, flowerpots, coolers, tanks, drums and buckets, and discarded open plastic food should be periodically emptied.

In some places biological vectors have also employed, like fish that feed on larvae of mosquitoes, in order to minimize mosquito breeding.

All communities of people in the endemic areas should be made aware of hazards and methods of prevention of mosquito bite- related fevers.

National programmes for mosquito control and eradication should be strengthened.
