Manuel Adorni stated that “a large part of this problem is due to the responsibility that was had in the failure or in the prevention policies that have been implemented during the past year.”
It will be $180,000 for February and $202,800 for March
While several localities in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area are suffering from a new wave of mosquitoes , the Executive Branch attributed the problem to the Government of Alberto Fernández.
At the beginning of his usual press conference, the presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni, said that "the Ministry of Health is in permanent coordination with the provinces, especially those that are most affected by dengue." However, he took the opportunity to assign responsibility to the Government of Alberto Fernández.
“We do not want to lose sight of the fact that a large part of this problem is due to the responsibility that was had in the failure or in the prevention policies that have been implemented during the past year . This task of prevention and dissemination of what dengue is was not well implemented,” he stated.
The spokesperson continued with his criticism and recalled that in 2019, when Alberto Fernández took office, he once again gave ministerial rank to what until then was the Ministry of Health, after the demotion that Mauricio Macri had decreed in that portfolio.
“Many boasted that they had achieved that Health is a ministry, we repeated the song 'we have a ministry'. However, in management, the ministry was evidently conspicuous by its absence. Beyond climatic factors, mosquitoes have a cycle and actions to send breeding sites have to occur in advance ,” said Adorni.
The truth is that during this weekend the proliferation of mosquitoes was strongly felt in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA) , in several towns in the interior of Buenos Aires and in the central area of the country.
Consulted by Infobae, María Victoria Micieli , doctor in natural sciences and director of the Center for Parasitological and Vector Studies (CEPAVE) of Conicet and the National University of La Plata , explained that, as happened at the beginning of January , the Aedes mosquito species albifasciatus is the one responsible for this invasion in the metropolitan area.

They are known as “ flood mosquitoes ” because of the strategy they have to reproduce as they develop their larvae in puddles or temporary bodies of water that are flooded by rain.
The current proliferation is associated with the amount of rainfall that fell in recent weeks: “This is due to the rains 7 or 10 days ago , which were very important in La Plata , the City of Buenos Aires and in other areas of the province of Buenos Aires . What these rainfalls generated is the flooding of new areas , the flooding of new sites and that led to the eggs that the mosquito females may have laid in January, or even before, to have hatched now, producing this new invasion ," Micieli described. to Infobae.
The reproduction strategy of the Aedes albifasciatus explains why the intense invasion of mosquitoes is repeated in the AMBA: “The eggs left by the mosquitoes may not hatch the first time because they have not been wet and this improves the hatching performance for the second flood. This means that possibly some of the eggs that did not hatch in early January did so now, with the rains of the last week .
According to the Conicet specialist, the adult mosquitoes that surround us today will live more or less 20 days . “At this time we observe many male mosquitoes swarming and copulating, and a large population of males and females is observed. The females are going to bite to have the blood to lay eggs, so this will last approximately 20 days . ”
What is colloquially called “mosquito invasion” may last for a shorter period, close to 10 days . “The adult life of the mosquitoes that recently hatched is three weeks, so during that period they will be present in the rural and urban areas of the Pampas, with greater or lesser intensity due to multiple factors,” Maximiliano Garzón told Infobae . , researcher at the Mosquito Study Group of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA).
A similar situation had been experienced in the same area of the country in the last days of 2023, in a year in which the worst dengue epidemic was recorded , the infection that is transmitted by the Aedes Aegypti species of mosquitoes .
