ORANGE COUNTY MOSQUITO CONTROL IS SOUNDING THE ALARM, HOPING TO STOP THE SPREAD OF DENGUE AND SLOTH FEVER. THAT'S AFTER TWO TRAVEL RELATED CASES WERE FOUND IN ORANGE COUNTY IN RECENT MONTHS. WESH 2'S LUANA MUNOZ TALKED WITH COUNTY OFFICIALS ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE DOING TO KEEP THINGS UNDER CONTROL.. AFTER TWO CASES OF DENGUE AND SLOTH FEVER WERE FOUND IN THE ROSEMONT, LOCKHART AREA JUST WEST OF ORLANDO. ORANGE COUNTY MOSQUITO CONTROL HAS BEEN OUT IN FULL FORCE. OFFICIALS BELIEVE A TRAVELER FROM OVERSEAS CAME HERE, WAS BITTEN BY A MOSQUITO. AND THAT MOSQUITO TRANSFERRED THE VIRUS, CAUSING AN IMMEDIATE RESPONSE. SO WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE HABITAT THAT WOULD HARBOR THIS MOSQUITO. SO WE'RE GOING TO GO DOOR TO DOOR. WE'RE GOING TO GO YARD TO YARD. WE SET UP A CERTAIN RADIUS BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL, THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTITION ISSUED A HEALTH ADVISORY IN AUGUST REGARDING TRAVEL RELATED CASES OF SLOTH FEVER IN THE AMERICAS. MORE THAN 8000 CASES HAVE BEEN REPORTED SINCE JANUARY 1ST OF THIS YEAR, RESULTING IN TWO DEATHS DENGUE AND SLOTH FEVER HAVE SIMILAR SYMPTOMS. MOST CASES THEY PRESENT FEVER, MUSCLE JOINT ACHE. SOMETIMES THEY GET A RASH. MOSQUITO CONTROL'S MAIN GOAL IS TO KILL 80 AEGYPTI, THE MOSQUITO THAT TRANSMITS THE VIRUS. TO PREVENT YOURSELF FROM GETTING BITTEN, EXPERTS SUGGEST THAT YOU REMOVE ANY STANDING WATER AROUND YOUR HOME BECAUSE EVEN AMOUNTS AS SMALL AS THIS CAN BE, A BREEDING GROUND FOR MOSQUITOES. ANYTHING THAT'S GOING TO HOLD WATER MORE THAN FIVE DAYS. DUMP IT OUT. TOSS IT OUT. MOSQUITO CONTROL CONTINUES TO TEST MOSQUITOES LOCALLY TO SEE IF OTHER VIRUSES HAVE BEEN DETECTED, AND TO KEEP THEM FROM
