Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's personal physician Dr ABM Abdullah said the Aedes mosquito, which carries the dengue virus, breeds from garbage to saltwater. Aedes mosquitoes' reproductive cycle has changed.
Dr. Abdullah said not only that, the glittering city of the night has changed the character of the Aedes mosquito. "Aedes are two species of mosquitoes. One is Albopictus, the other is Aedes aegypti. Aedes aegypti is the main carrier of dengue. Emeritus Professor. ABM Abdullah also said that this mosquito is grown not only in Bangladesh but in almost all the cities of the warm and humid countries of the world. Aedes mosquitoes lay eggs in the rainwater of unused containers or bottles and in the stagnant water of broken containers scattered around the houses in the city.
