Vector-borne diseases trouble Nepal every year as there is not a single entomologist

Dengue, a vector-borne disease that outbroke since pre-monsoon, has now emerged as a major health problem across the country. In some districts, including Kathmandu valley, dengue has spread in almost every household, and most of the hospital beds are full.

According to the Epidemiology and Disease Control Division ( EDCD ), within two months, 15,000 people have been infected with dengue and 16 people have died so far.
