Ahmedabad faces shortage of insect collectors amidst rising dengue cases | Ahmedabad News



The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation is currently dealing with a rise in dengue cases, as well as past viral infections like Chandipura virus and Congo fever. To better understand and control disease-spreading insects, the AMC is working on filling four vacant insect collector positions that have been empty for a decade. The corporation is establishing new recruitment rules as there are currently no defined qualifications or guidelines for these roles. Studying insects is crucial in combating viral infections transmitted by mosquitoes, flies, or other pests. By identifying the types of insects and viruses they carry, the AMC hopes to strategize and control outbreaks more effectively.
