Incazelo emfushane: • Kulo nyaka kungokokuqala ukuthi ukwehla kwezibungu emoyeni kwenziwe njalo esifundeni.• Umgomo uwukusiza ekunqandeni ukubhebhetheka kwezifo omiyane.• Kusukela ngo-2017, abekho abantu abangaphezu kuka-3 abaye bahlolwa ukuthi bane-HIV unyaka ngamunye.
ISifundazwe saseSan Diego sihlela ukwenza ukwehla kwezibulala-zinambuzane okokuqala ngqa emigwaqweni yasendaweni engama-52 kulo nyaka ukuvimba omiyane ekusakazeni izifo ezingase zibe khona njengegciwane laseWest Nile.
Izikhulu zesifunda zithe izindiza ezinophephela emhlane zizokwehlaizibulala-zinambuzaneuma kudingeka ngoLwesithathu nangoLwesine ukuze kuhlanganiswe cishe amahektha ayi-1,400 ezindawo zokuzalanisa omiyane okunzima ukuzifinyelela.
Ngemuva kokuvela kwegciwane laseWest Nile ngasekuqaleni kweminyaka yawo-2000, isifunda saqala ukusebenzisa izindiza ezinophephela emhlane ukuphonsa izibungu eziqinile ezibulala izibungu ezindaweni okunzima ukufinyelela kuzo emanzini amile emifuleni, emifudlaneni, emachibini nakwezinye izindawo zamanzi lapho omiyane babengazalela khona.Isifunda siqhuba ukukhishwa kwezibungu zasemoyeni cishe kanye ngenyanga kusukela ngo-Ephreli kuya ku-Okthoba.
I-Larvicide ngeke ilimaze abantu noma izilwane ezifuywayo, kodwa izobulala izibungu zomiyane ngaphambi kokuba zibe omiyane abalumayo.
Igciwane laseWest Nile ngokuyinhloko liyisifo sezinyoni.Nokho, omiyane bangadlulisela leli gciwane elingase libe yingozi kubantu ngokudla izinyoni ezinaleli gciwane bese beluma abantu.
Umthelela wegciwane le-West Nile e-San Diego County ube mnene kakhulu eminyakeni embalwa edlule.Kusukela ngo-2017, abekho abantu abangaphezu kwabathathu abaye bahlolwa ukuthi bane-HIV unyaka ngamunye.Kodwa kuseyingozi futhi abantu kufanele bagweme omiyane.
Amaconsi e-Larvicidal ayingxenye kuphela yesu elibanzi lokulawula i-vector.Iminyango elawula ama-vector esifundeni iphinde iqaphe cishe izindawo ezingase zizalela omiyane ezingaba ngu-1,600 unyaka ngamunye futhi ifake izibulala-zinambuzane zisebenzisa izindlela ezihlukahlukene (ezihamba emoyeni, isikebhe, iloli, kanye nesandla).Iphinde ihlinzekele umphakathi ngezinhlanzi zamahhala ezidla omiyane, iqaphe futhi yelapha amadamu okubhukuda alahliwe, ihlole izinyoni ezifile ukuthi ayinalo yini igciwane le-West Nile, futhi iqaphe omiyane ukuthi ingakanani izifo ezithwalwa omiyane.
Izikhulu ezilawula ama-vector esifundeni nazo zikhumbuza abantu ukuthi bazivikele omiyane ngaphakathi nasezindlini zabo ngokuthola nokukhipha amanzi amile ukuze bavimbele izinambuzane ukuthi zingazalani.
Imizamo yokuvimbela omiyane izodinga usizo lomphakathi olwengeziwe eminyakeni yamuva njengoba izinhlobo ezintsha ezimbalwa zomiyane be-Aedes abahlaselayo sezisungule lapha.Abanye balaba omiyane uma bengenwa yizifo ngokuluma umuntu ogulayo bese bedla abanye, bangasakaza izifo ezingekho lapha, okubalwa kuzo iZika, udenga kanye ne-chikungunya.Omiyane be-Aedes abahlaselayo bakhetha ukuhlala futhi bazale eduze kwemizi yabantu nasemagcekeni.
Izikhulu ezilawula ama-vector esifundeni zithi indlela engcono kakhulu yokuthi abantu bazivikele omiyane iwukulandela iziqondiso “Zokuvimbela, Vikela, Bika”.
Lahla noma ukhiphe noma yini engaphakathi noma ngaphandle kwendlu yakho engase igcine amanzi, njengezimbiza zezimbali, amagatha, amabhakede, imigqomo kadoti, amathoyizi, amathayi amadala namabhala.Izinhlanzi zomiyane zitholakala mahhala ngohlelo lokulawula umiyane futhi zingasetshenziswa ukulawula ukuzala komiyane emithonjeni yamanzi emile ezingadini zasekhaya njengamadamu okubhukuda anganakekelwa, amachibi, imithombo kanye nemikhumbi yamahhashi.
Zivikele ezifweni ezithwalwa omiyane ngokugqoka izingubo ezinemikhono emide kanye namabhulukwe noma usebenzise umuthi oxosha izinambuzane lapho ungaphandle.Sebenzisa isixosha izinambuzane esiquketheI-DEET, picaridin, amafutha kalamula kalamula, noma i-IR3535.Qiniseka ukuthi izikrini zeminyango namafasitela zisesimweni esihle futhi zivikelekile ukuze kuvinjelwe 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.
Uma ikhaya lakho lihlolelwe amanzi amile futhi lisahlangabezana nezinkinga zomiyane, ungathintana neVector Control Programme ku-(858) 694-2888 futhi ucele ukuhlolwa komiyane okufundisayo.
Ukuze uthole ulwazi olwengeziwe mayelana nezifo ezithwalwa omiyane, vakashela iwebhusayithi ye-San Diego County Fight Bites.Nawa amanye amathiphu angasiza ekuvimbeleni igceke lakho ekubeni indawo yokuzalela omiyane.
