Ecodevelopment, in cooperation with the EODY and the General Directorate of Public Health of the Region of Thessaly, implements a program of entomological and epidemiological surveillance and mosquito control applications, for the protection of Public Health in the affected area, which includes the surveillance of selected areas using drones to delineate flooded surfaces as potential mosquito breeding grounds and targeted aerial spraying following sampling of mosquito larvae.
Last week, in order to address problems in large flooded areas where the use of ground-based means is not possible, aerial spraying was carried out with the use of drones, in particular in the settlements of Lofiskos, Niki, Achillion, Nikaia, Trikala, Giannouli and in the Toumba area of Larissa.
