The Thepprasit Community was the latest Pattaya neighborhood to be fumigated for disease-carrying mosquitos as the city continues its war against dengue fever.
Public health workers and volunteers sprayed pesticide and distributed abate to residents Jan. 25, targeting water supplies and standing water, the areas where mosquitos breed.
Disease Control Department staffers asked locals for their cooperation in monitoring and reporting cases of dengue, hoping that swift action will result in an annual decline in cases in 2017.
