Mosquito control: Protecting public health and preserving coastal tourism

TIRANA, June 5 /ATA/ With the start of the summer tourist season, the disinfestation process in wetland, urban and coastal areas throughout the country has continued, an important intervention for the protection of public health and ensuring a safer environment for citizens and vacationers.

Deputy Minister of Health and Social Welfare Eugena Tomini said that the process has begun in accordance with the national monitoring and control plan, aiming to reduce the density of mosquitoes in areas with the highest risk.

“Targeted disinfestation in urban and coastal regions is vital for Albania. It controls mosquito densities, protects public health, and supports the country’s booming tourism sector”, said Tomini.

According to her, these treatments eliminate mosquito larvae safely without harming people, pets or the environment.

“Harmless to land and aquatic life, this product ensures complete environmental safety”, emphasized Tomini.

Based on epidemiological and entomological mapping, the rollout is underway in urban and coastal zones of Shkodra, Lezha, Tirana, Durrës, Kavaja, Fier, and Vlora. /e.i/j.p/p.s./
