Mosquito season The period of the year when people are attacked by those blood-sucking insects could be called mosquito season. It is usually the warm and wet period that differs year after year depending on climatic and other conditions.

MosBand can be worn while doing almost anything.

MosBand provides 240 hours of protection against mosquito and other flying insects. Please ensure that the band is stored in the provided zip lock pouch when not being used.

All mosquito repellents available in the market contain DEET (N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide) which was developed by the United States Army during World War 2. According to latest research DEET causes serious damage to the human nervous system. There are restrictions on the use of DEET in developed countries but sadly there is no control over the substance in Pakistan. Please read the ingredients before using any sort of mosquito repellents to avoid serious health risks.
MosBand is the only natural mosquito repellent available in Pakistan that is completely DEET-FREE.

DEVELOPMENTAL STAGES OF DENGUE-MOSQUITO:

Under optimal conditions, the egg of an Aedes mosquito can hatch into a larva in less than a day. The larva then takes about four days to develop in a pupa, from which an adult mosquito will emerge after two days. Three days after the mosquito has bitten a person and taken in blood, it will lay eggs, and the cycle begins again.

Fast facts about the mosquito:

-Only the female aedes mosquito bites as it needs the protein in -blood to develop its eggs.

-The mosquito becomes infective approximately 7 days after it has bitten a person carrying the virus. This is the extrinsic incubation period, during which time the virus replicates in the mosquito and reaches the salivary glands.

-Peak biting is at dawn and dusk.

-The average lifespan of an Aedes mosquito in Nature is 2 weeks

-The mosquito can lay eggs about 3 times in its lifetime, and about 100 eggs are produced each time.

-The eggs can lie dormant in dry conditions for up to about 9 months, after which they can hatch if exposed to favourable conditions, i.e. water and food

2011 dengue outbreak in Pakistan:
(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Dengue fever is increasingly becoming an epidemic in Pakistan. Due to the high cost of treatment, the disease spread more rapidly in 2011 than in previous years. It has attracted the attention of the Government of Pakistan, especially the Punjab Government since it is widespread in that particular province of the country. As of November 2011, it has killed over 300 people in the last several months and over 14,000 are infected by this mosquito born disease. Majority of the people infected are from the Lahore area in Punjab, Pakistan.
