加纳昨天与世界各地共同纪念世界蚊子日，并呼吁加强媒介控制干预措施，以保护公众免受蚊媒疾病日益严重的威胁。\n\n卫生专家表示，加纳不断变化的蚊媒疾病形势，特别是登革热等疾病的出现，要求该国将重点从传统的抗击疟疾扩大到更广泛的领域，以保障公共健康。\n\n这一呼吁是在诺古奇医学研究所（Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research）媒介研究小组昨天在阿克拉组织的一场网络研讨会上发出的，该研讨会旨在纪念世界蚊子日。\n\n加纳卫生服务局（GHS）国家疟疾消除计划项目经理Hilarius Abiwu博士在发言中表示，登革热正在成为该国令人担忧的蚊媒疾病。\n\n他透露，2024年，在1471起疑似病例中记录了206起确诊病例，登革热已蔓延至该国16个大区中的11个。\n\n这位项目经理解释说，登革热很容易被误认为是疟疾，因为患者通常会出现发烧和其他类似症状，但对抗疟治疗没有反应。\n\n据他介绍，传播疟疾的雌性按蚊主要在夜间叮咬，而传播登革热的伊蚊则在白天更为活跃。

Ghana joined the rest of the world to mark World Mosquito Day yesterday with a call for intensified vector-control interventions to protect the public against the growing threat of mosquito-borne diseases.

Health experts said Ghana's changing mosquito-borne disease landscape, particularly the emergence of diseases such as dengue, required the country to broaden its focus beyond the traditional fight against malaria to safeguard public health.

The call was made at a webinar organised by the Vector Research Group of the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research to commemorate the day in Accra yesterday.

The Programme Manager of the National Malaria Elimination Programme at the Ghana Health Service (GHS), Dr Hilarius Abiwu, in a presentation said dengue was emerging as a mosquito-borne disease of concern in the country.

He said in 2024, 206 confirmed cases out of 1,471 suspected cases were recorded, with dengue detected in 11 out of the country's 16 regions.

The programme manager explained that dengue could easily be mistaken for malaria, as patients often presented with fever and other similar symptoms but failed to respond to anti-malaria treatment.

According to him, while the female Anopheles mosquitoes that transmit malaria predominantly bite at night, Aedes mosquitoes, which transmit dengue, were more active during the day.
