As the Brazilian carnival approaches, health authorities are fumigating the Rio de Janeiro sambadrome to combat the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which spreads diseases like dengue, chikungunya, and zika. With 70,000 attendees expected, there is concern about the virus spreading due to the influx of international visitors. Health Minister Marcelo Castro acknowledges the struggle against the mosquito and emphasizes the use of repellent, especially for pregnant women. The upcoming Olympics pose a greater concern, with plans to ensure all venues are mosquito-free to prevent an epidemic.
