Science in focus: did you know that the dengue mosquito has a preferred time for biting?

The Aedes aegypti mosquito, commonly known as the dengue mosquito or striped mosquito, has a preferred time for its biting activity: at dawn, between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m., and in the afternoon, between 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Therefore, it is essential to take care during these times and intensify additional preventive measures to avoid it. We recommend that during this time interval, strict precautions be taken, such as closing doors and windows, using protective screens, and applying repellents. These actions are essential to reduce the risk of contact with the mosquito and, consequently, the transmission of dengue.
