we had a few days of really dry decent wind, and it dried up all my test water locations. So even if we ger another rain unless your location has heavy mosquito levels we should be fine from dengue this year. I assume lapaz had the same dry air but maybe not our wind is my guess.

The deputy director of Epidemiology of the State Secretariat of Health, Alfredo Ojeda Garmendia, said that dengue is an endemic disease in Baja California Sur, but currently the largest number of cases is concentrated in Los Cabos with 319 cases.

According to the weekly bulletin of the Epidemiological Panorama of Dengue in Mexico, as of July 22, 26,278 cases and 49 deaths from this disease had been reported.


In 2023, the country recorded 56,333 cases of dengue and 491 deaths; while Baja California Sur closed with 897 cases and five deaths.

According to the Pan American Health Organization, dengue is transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito (Aedes Aegypti) .

It is a disease that affects people of all ages, with symptoms that vary from a mild fever to a debilitating one, accompanied by intense headache, pain behind the eyes, pain in muscles and joints, and erythema.

The disease can progress to severe forms, characterized mainly by shock, respiratory distress and/or severe organ damage.

Dengue has a seasonal pattern, meaning that in the southern hemisphere (of the American continent) most cases occur during the first half of the year, whereas in the northern hemisphere, cases occur mostly in the second half. This pattern of behavior corresponds to the warmer and rainier months.

The coordinator of Epidemiological Surveillance of the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) in Baja California Sur, Gustavo Granados de la Rosa, said that during the rainy season, patios and roofs should be kept clean, as well as objects that can store water should be removed, and grass should be trimmed, in order to prevent mosquitoes from reproducing.

He indicated that hygiene measures applied in homes will keep the Aedes Aegypti mosquito , which causes dengue, Chikungunya and Zika, away.

Granados de la Rosa said that this disease can be prevented by using mosquito repellent, wearing clothing that covers most of the body, installing mosquito nets on doors and windows, and using larvicides in containers to eliminate mosquito larvae.

It is important to maintain a culture of prevention during this season and implement junk removal actions, with the aim of preventing diseases such as dengue, zika and chikungunya.

Viruses claim 29 lives in Baja California Sur
This 2023, 717 cases of dengue were recorded, the highest number in the municipality of Los Cabos, and in 2022 the report is 91





La Paz, Baja California Sur.- During 2023, dengue cases in Baja California Sur increased by more than 650% compared to the previous year.

According to the latest data provided by the country's General Directorate of Epidemiology, during 2023, 717 confirmed cases were registered in the entity. This number represents a marked increase compared to the previous year, when 91 confirmed cases were reported in the same period.

Of these 717 cases, 499 have been identified as non-severe Dengue, 173 with warning signs and 45 classified as serious cases and unlike the previous year, in 2023 one death was recorded.

Faced with the significant increase in confirmed cases, the state Secretary of Health, Zazil Flores Aldape, reported that prevention measures have been reinforced by carrying out fumigations. However, he stressed the importance of raising awareness among citizens, urging them to avoid the proliferation of mosquito breeding sites in their homes.

To do this, he recommended avoiding the accumulation of water in patios, eliminating weeds from the gardens and, if there is stored water, keeping it covered. Likewise, he highlighted the importance of keeping storage containers and drains clean, since these places encourage the reproduction of the dengue-transmitting mosquito.

In addition, the health minister called on the population to contribute to cleaning yards and go to consultations in the presence of symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, muscle or joint pain, eye pain, headache or fever.

In relation to respiratory diseases that affected the region, a total of 733 suspected cases of influenza were reported. Of this set, 33 cases have been confirmed as positive. Unfortunately, the death of one person as a result of this disease was reported. In comparison, during the year 2022, 2,958 suspected cases of influenza were registered, of which 81 were positive.

Regarding COVID-19 cases, 6,904 suspected cases were reported, of which 348 were confirmed as positive. 27 deaths related to this disease have been recorded.

Considering the winter season, health authorities have emphasized to the population, especially parents, urging them to take advantage of the availability of vaccines to protect the vulnerable community. Zazil Flores Aldape reiterated that vaccines are essential for specific groups, such as people aged 60 and over, children over six months and under five years, health personnel, pregnant women and those with comorbidities such as immunosuppression, kidney failure, diabetes and cancer. .

For this reason, he called for them to go to their health unit and complete the different vaccination schedules, as well as go to the medical units if they experience any symptoms. Likewise, he highlighted the importance of maintaining basic hygiene measures, such as regular hand washing, the use of face masks when showing respiratory symptoms, and the proper use of masks for older adults in crowded places.

They call on citizens to prevent the proliferation of mosquito breeding sites.

only 3 cases right now in all BCS reported. so being this late I do not see how it will explode this season. and lapaz and cabo just started spraying.

seems from google translate they gave up on LaPaz with the wolbachia . I had noted from the get go why it may not work in baja , basically we are a desert. So I think they finally realized this and decided they did not want a failure under their program as it would damage their reputation.

claims 2 cases in BCS and erroniously claims the Walbachia is the reason but it is only in LaPaz.  and possibly only a small part of LaPaz.

with hurricane olaf we had locally here in LV horizontal rains that can leave puddles where normally we do not have standing water and shaded and a lot of it.

second to that our drying out winds have not been here so we can expect a bumper crop of mosquitos.

The good news denguewise is so far no major outbreaks of dengue have occurred in cabo or lapaz. It is a bit late in the season so we should be ok for a massive outbreak. Added in we would find out if the release of the Wolbachia infected in LaPaz have an effect. Also there may be less travel by people to the mainland infected areas because of covid, people may not be flying around as much from cabo or LaPaz to mainland.

He recalled that in 2018 150 cases of dengue and 59 of Chikungunya were recorded, without any deaths, while highlighting the importance of prevention with very elementary but relevant actions such as keeping patios and roofs clean of pots where water can be stored, which in turn becomes a reservoir.

He explained that in this campaign the state government invests 35 million pesos, applied in fumigations, fuels and payment of personnel, in an era where historically there are rains and floods that become reservoirs for the transmitting mosquito.

He cited that in the case of Ciudad Insurgentes that recently registered a flood due to the rains of tropical storm Ivo, larvicide is being applied in order to prevent the propagation of the vector.
