00:00Antonio and forecast also of dengue storm because because March is coming, which is the month
00:09that we have the peak of the presence of this little mosquito called Aedes aegypti.
00:16We are with Guillermo Tarelli, he is a zootechnician engineer, am I right Guillermo? Correct. Because we don't
00:22hear that word a lot, zootechnician. Very good, very good. But we can say that you are a specialist in plagues.
00:27Yes, a few years ago I dedicated myself to the subject of plagues and vectors. And does the plague of Aedes aegypti come or not?
00:34Do we have to be more alert or not? It actually never left. The issue is that it is a very established mosquito
00:40in Argentina, you have to take it into account. Last year, the topic of mosquitoes in general
00:46put it on the table of Euclerotatus or Aedes albifaciatus, which is the shark mosquito,
00:51precisely because of the consecutive rains that there were weekly. But that one doesn't bring us dengue.
00:56That one doesn't bring dengue, it can bring other diseases, in equinox above all, but it is not a problem for,
01:02a serious problem for the human being as Aedes aegypti is. And you have to take this into account,
01:06Aedes is present, it is a much less evident mosquito, it moves in the hours of twilight,
01:12a smaller, darker mosquito, with very short flights, it is raised in small aquatic resources,
01:19from a gas mat, an ashtray, a flowerpot, etc. Look Antonio, it is connected. Guillermo,
01:25you can talk to him whenever you want. Notice that we prepared it here, Guillermo prepared it
01:30to be more concrete than what he is talking about. This is an ashtray, it has a little bit of water,
01:35as you can see. Can Aedes aegypti be raised here? Yes, yes, perfectly. In fact, it is a mosquito
01:41that the rain is indifferent to it, that is, clearly if it rains and water accumulates in places
01:46that one has no idea about, they are places that can explode to develop the life cycle,
01:52but the truth is that gas, gas caps, pots, that is why the famous gutter,
01:58this ashtray that you showed, the typical potus of the interior of the home,
02:02are places where they are usually raised, and that is why we always say that part of the personal or domestic
02:07surveillance that each one can do, has to do with weekly checking, if each one remembers,
02:14if in these places they are not being raised, there is no larvae activity.
02:17Antonio is listening to you. Yes, Guillermo, good morning, thank you for receiving us.
02:21Good morning, thank you. I hadn't noticed so many mosquitoes in what was, for example, January,
02:26but these last few days I started to notice a lot more mosquitoes.
02:33Yes, that has to do with it, because you will have seen that in February the rainfall has been different,
02:39despite the fact that an important drought was forecast, already in the middle of last year the curves
02:46or what was expected of rainfall had changed, and it was assumed that there would be a little more
02:50rainfall than what was initially expected, and in fact we are seeing it in February, I would almost tell you
02:55that, like last year, once a week more or less rainfall, and depending on where,
03:01they are registered, and that will influence the appearance of other mosquitoes.
03:08When you talk about gutting the water, because I have heard, no, if the water is clean,
03:13the mosquitoes do not get together there, you can listen to the other version that tells you, no,
03:16there is no stagnant water, take out the water whatever it is, it does not matter if it is good or bad.
03:23Yes, let's see, all mosquito larvae need organic residue in the water, in suspension,
03:28to feed, in short, it is what they feed on. It is true that the EDS exploits
03:33cleaner aquatic resources, if you want, never chlorinated pool water, for example,
03:40in a pool, of course, in a well-maintained pool, with the right pH and others,
03:44it is difficult for there to be mosquito larvae, of any, the truth is that as the water begins
03:50to accumulate organic matter in suspension, other mosquitoes begin to appear in the pools,
03:55for example, like the kublex, which is the famous domestic mosquito, or the most buzzing mosquito of all,
04:02but the truth is that this other, the EDS, well, the water of a more or less clean flowerbed,
04:08no water without organic residue, because in short, they would not have food, there they will be breeding.
04:15What mosquito, do you see that there is a mosquito that is huge, has long legs, but much larger, what mosquito is it?
04:23No, actually, one of the biggest, which is actually called a dinosaur mosquito, etc.,
04:28is a, it is actually a typulid, it is of the same order as mosquitoes, but it is an organism that is
04:36actually innocuous, it feeds on sugary substances, it has very long legs, very long wings,
04:43but we are talking about the size, it can be 3 to 4 centimeters, yes, it is a rather clumsy insect,
04:51but it does nothing, nothing, no, absolutely nothing, it does not even bite, it is not hematophagous,
04:57in the case of females, they do not feed on blood, and among the mosquitoes that are,
05:02the most evident is the one that we suffered a lot last year, which we will see what happens now,
05:07in these next few days, which is the shark mosquito, or the EDS albifaciatus.
05:11And how many eggs can a female mosquito lay?
05:16A female can lay between 200 and 300 eggs, it depends, in reality they are distributed in a
05:22pool of eggs, that in most insects is like that, in dipterids in general they can
05:28be between 200 and 300 eggs, both flies and mosquitoes, and they put them in clusters,
05:34the species depends, in different places, it is a survival mechanism, they do not put
05:39the 200 eggs at once, and that can be distributed in 15 days, 21 days, it depends,
05:46but in reality the oviposition cycle can be up to a month. And how long does a mosquito live?
05:54Look, we in the laboratory, for example, we have mosquitoes and have cages of 60 days
06:00of mosquitoes that are active there, in the wild it depends on the resource,
06:05on the availability of food, in the case of females, in the case of blood,
06:09so that they proliferate, taking into account that they also feed on sugary substances,
06:13males and females, mainly of plant sap. And you were just talking about the
06:18rainfall, the humid days, the rains, when there is a dry environment and there is little rain,
06:23where do they lay the eggs or do not lay the eggs? Yes, in reality the question is good,
06:31because if there is drought, the mosquito that explodes the ponds, the EDS albifaciatus,
06:37will not have where to lay eggs. If you do not have a pool or a stream, you have other species,
06:43such as the Culex, for example, that will not find a place where to lay eggs.
06:46The EDS is a great specialist and will look for those small places of accumulation of water,
06:52for example, a grid in your home, it does not rain, the plants are drying,
06:57but you wash it outside, somewhere, you have systematized irrigation,
07:03and the water will accumulate. In those places where you even have no idea
07:07that it accumulates, the mosquito will find it. Guillermo, thank you very much for your time.
07:15To you. Thank you very much, Gaby, thank you too.
07:19Well, I already put myself the same, I put myself giving citronella with smell,
07:23because I don't know if the note suggested it to me, but I already put myself a protector.
07:29Are you vaccinated?
07:30Are you vaccinated?
07:32You know I'm not vaccinated. I didn't have dengue either, at least not in medical circumstances that I had been analyzed.
07:41I didn't have hundreds more of dengue and I don't have it. I should get vaccinated, yes. But I'm not vaccinated.
07:47I think I didn't have dengue.
07:49Yes, I got vaccinated. What's more, now I have to take the second dose. You see, you have 90 days.
07:56Yes, yes, yes.
07:58And how much did you get?
08:00How much did you get, Antonio?
08:02I don't remember how much I got, but I think 40% was covered by prepaid medicine or social work.
08:09They cover you in a percentage.
08:11I don't remember how much I had left.
08:13But that was half.
08:15I had a 40% discount.
08:17Is it an expensive vaccine?
08:19Yes, it is an expensive vaccine.
08:21What happens is that dengue is not a joke, right?
08:23It's sad, isn't it?
08:25Last year there was, for the month of March, which was the peak, you will remember, we were all covering the hospitals, 580,000 cases and there were 419 deaths registered.
08:37But the one who had dengue, I touch wood, we didn't have it, the one who had dengue is much worse than COVID.
08:47The symptomatology kills you directly.
08:51Well, get vaccinated, Gaby.
08:55I will do my best.
08:57See you later.
