Vector-borne disease cases higher in Ahmedabad’s posh localities [1]

AHMEDABAD: If you thought malaria and dengue affected only slums or lower-middle class localities, you are mistaken.

Last month, consolidated data showed that western and posh new western parts of the city accounted for a large chunk of vector-borne diseases. The western and new western parts of the city reported 312 malaria cases, while the northern part of the city recorded the least — 57 cases. This, according to Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) was because of greater incidence of relapses.
