Mosquito Control

Health authorities are intensifying prevention efforts in Cortés after more than 600 dengue cases were reported in a single week, urging residents to eliminate mosquito breeding sites and seek immediate medical care for warning signs.

A three-year-old in Tegucigalpa died from severe dengue complications, bringing Honduras's 2026 dengue death toll to five — including a 22-year-old, a 28-year-old, and three minors — as health officials urge families to eliminate mosquito breeding sites during the rainy season.

Health authorities in the Bay Islands reported 269 suspected dengue cases as of September 9, with 252 showing no warning signs and 17 showing alarm signs; no deaths have been confirmed, though seven people were hospitalized.
