Isexwayiso Sokuhamba Kwe-Dengue Fever for Oahu, Hawaii

Amaqembu okulawula amaVektha aphendulile futhi azoqhubeka nokusebenza ku Haleiwa Indawo eseNyakatho ye-Oahu.

I-Dengue fever yisifo segciwane esithwala omiyane esitholakala ezindaweni ezishisayo nezishisayo. Labo abangenwa igciwane okwesibili basengozini enkulu kakhulu yokuba nesifo esibi.

Isexwayiso Somphakathi

Umphakathi uyanxuswa ukuthi uthathe ezinye izinyathelo zokuphepha ukuze uzivikele ekulunyweni omiyane futhi unqande omiyane ukuthi bangazalela. 

Izimpawu umkhuhlane ophezulu, ukuqubuka, kanye nobuhlungu bemisipha namalunga. Ezimweni ezimbi kakhulu, kunokopha okukhulu nokushaqeka, okungafaka ukuphila engozini. Ukwelashwa kuhlanganisa uketshezi kanye nezidambisi zinhlungu. Izimo ezinzima zidinga ukunakekelwa esibhedlela.

Indawo lapho icala libikwe khona ihlangabezana nokugcwala kwezivakashi nezivakashi. 

Kutholakale omiyane abaminyene kakhulu be-Aedes albopictus, i-vector yegciwane lodenga, endaweni okuhlala kuyo lapho kwatholakala khona icala kanye nendawo ezungezile. Ukusabela kokuqala kokulawula i-vector kuholele ekuncipheni okuphawulekayo komiyane endaweni okuhlala icala.

I-Hawaii Ibika Ikesi Legciwane Le-Dengue Elihlobene Nohambo

UMnyango Wezempilo waseHawaii uzoqhubeka nokuqapha izinombolo zomiyane kule ndawo futhi uthathe izinyathelo ezengeziwe njengoba kudingeka. Kuzothunyelwa izimpawu ukuze kufundiswe umphakathi ngokuzivikela kanye nokuvikela ukusuleleka.

Unganciphisa kanjani ukusabalala komkhuhlane wodenga

I-DOH icela ukwesekwa ekwehliseni amandla okubhebhetheka kodenga ngokudluliselwa. Izakhamuzi, izivakashi, namabhizinisi bangathatha izinyathelo ezilandelayo:

• Gcoba umuthi oxosha omiyane esikhumbeni esisobala, ikakhulukazi uma ungaphandle. Izinto ezixoshayo kufanele zibhaliswe ne-Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) futhi ziqukathe u-20-30% DEET (isithako esisebenzayo). Ezinye izithako ezisebenzayo zingabandakanya i-picaridin, uwoyela we-lemon eucalyptus, noma i-IR3535. Chofoza lapha ukuze uthole umuthi oxosha izinambuzane okulungele wena.
• Gqoka izingubo ezikufanelayo (imikhono emide namabhulukwe) ezivala isikhumba sakho.
• Gcina omiyane ngaphandle kwekhaya lakho noma ibhizinisi ngokugcina iminyango ivaliwe noma izikrini zisesimweni esihle.
• Lahla noma yimaphi amanzi amile endaweni noma eduze kwendawo ohlala kuyo noma ebhizinisini ukuze uqede izindawo ezingase zizalela kuzo. Lokhu kuhlanganisa ukukhipha amanzi emvula aqoqwe ngamabhakede, amabhodwe ezimbali, amathayi asetshenzisiwe, noma ngisho nezitshalo ezifana ne-bromeliad.   

Izimpawu Zomkhuhlane Wodenga

Izimpawu zodenga ngokuvamile zingase zibe mnene noma zibe nzima futhi zihlanganisa imfiva, isicanucanu, ukuhlanza, ukuqubuka, nobuhlungu bomzimba. Izimpawu zivame ukuhlala izinsuku ezimbili kuya kweziyisikhombisa, futhi nakuba izifo ezinzima futhi ezisongela ukuphila zingenzeka, abantu abaningi bangalulama ngemva kwesonto. 

UMnyango Wezempilo ucela abantu, uma behlangabezana nanoma yiziphi izimpawu ezibalwe ngenhla, ukuthi babonane nodokotela noma abahlinzeki bezempilo futhi babazise ukuthi bebesendaweni lapho kuqinisekiswe khona icala lomkhuhlane wodenga. 

Igciwane lodenga lisakazwa lisuka komunye umuntu liye komunye ngokulunywa omiyane. Nakuba i-Hawai'i iyikhaya lohlobo lomiyane abangathwala udenga, lesi sifo asisungulwa eHawaii.

Ezigungwini eziyishumi zodenga ezibikwe e-Hawai'i kusukela ngoJanuwari 1, 2023, kuze kube manje, abahlanu baye bavakashela eMelika Ephakathi noma eNingizimu Melika, kanti abahlanu baye e-Asia.

Noma ubani oya endaweni enodenga usengozini yokutheleleka.

I-CDC yeluleka abahambi ukuthi basebenzise izinyathelo ezivamile zokuzivikela lapho bevakashela ezindaweni ezisengozini yodenga.

Ungazivikela kanjani kumkhuhlane wodenga?

Lokhu kuhlanganisa ukusebenzisa i Isixosha izinambuzane esibhaliswe nge-EPA, ukugqoka amahembe anemikhono emide namabhulukwe amade ngaphandle, nokulala ekamelweni elinomoya opholile noma igumbi elinezikrini zamafasitela ezifakwe kahle noma ngaphansi inethi yombhede efakwe izibulala-zinambuzane.

Amanye amazwe abika amanani akhuphukayo wamacala, ngakho-ke kubalulekile, amasonto amane kuya kwayisithupha ngaphambi kohambo, ukubukeza ulwazi lokuhamba oluqondene nezwe ukuthola isiqondiso sakamuva mayelana nobungozi bodenga nezindlela zokuvimbela kulelo zwe.

Abahambi ababuya endaweni esengozini yodenga kufanele bathathe izinyathelo zokuvimbela ukulunywa omiyane amasonto amathathu, futhi uma izimpawu zodenga zivela phakathi namasonto amabili lapho bebuya, kufanele bafune ukuhlolwa kwezokwelapha.
