Mosquitoes breeding in loo cisterns


Students have to be taught to keep their school compound clean so as not to be a mosquito breeding ground.

KLANG schools are on alert for dengue cases after 230 students were down with the fever in the first two months of the year.

The students, aged between 10 and 19, are believed to have contracted dengue from one main Aedes mosquito breeding ground – the toilets at school.
