Happy New Year! 🎉 For our 1st #funfactfriday of the year, did you know #Aedesaegypti thrives in urban environments, breeding in man-made containers like pots & tires? Let’s work together in 2025 to reduce mosquito-borne diseases like #dengue by reducing these mosquito habitats in our neighbourhoods. #MosquitoFacts #PublicHealth
