Campo Mourão has a general index of infestation of the mosquito Aedes aegypti of 11.40%, which transmits dengue fever, zika virus, chikungunya and yellow fever. The high rate is considered alarming because what is acceptable by the Ministry of Health is less than 1%. The data was published Monday (14) by the Dengue Committee of the Municipal Health Secretariat, based on the first survey of the index (CRI) conducted last year.
last year, in November, the index was already high: 5.2%. This time, of the 36 localities surveyed, the infestation exceeded the 20% mark in six of them. In only three locations (center, Paula Walter's Milton and the Flora Garden area), no outbreaks have been detected.
