Health authorities have issued an alert, urging citizens to heighten their safety measures against malaria as the number of mosquitoes that can transmit the disease has increased rapidly this summer due mainly to heat waves and heavy torrential rain.
폭염과 폭우로 인해 말라리아 매개 모기 개체수가 급증한 가운데 보건 당국은 시민들에게 말라리아에 대한 안전 대책을 강화하라고 경고했다.

According to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) on Wednesday, the daily mosquito index for the 25th week of the year (from June 18 to 24) stood at 7.1, and rose to 9.2 the following week.
수요일 발표된 질병관리청 자료에 따르면 올해 25주차(6월 18일부터 24일) 대한민국 하루 평균 모기 지수는 7.1마리였으며, 26주차에는 9.2마리로 증가했다.

The figures released by the KDCA measured the density of mosquitos at 50 places in Incheon, northern Gyeonggi Province and Gangwon Province, which were designated as malaria danger zones.

The mosquito index for the 25th week has more than doubled from the same week a year earlier, and increased nearly five times from the average of the last five years.

The index for the 26th week has also increased 1.3 times from a year earlier and 2.5 times from the average of the last five years.

The ratio of mosquitoes carrying malaria among the total collected by the KDCA has increased as well, standing at 54 percent in the 25th week and 61.7 percent in the 26th week.
질병청이 수집한 모기 중 말라리아를 운반하는 모기의 비율도 증가했는데, 25주차에는 전체 모기 중 54%이었으며, 26주차에는 61.7%로 상승했다.

The ratio for the 25th week nearly doubled from a year earlier, while that of the 26th week increased 1.2 times during the same period.

The KDCA said the number of malaria patients until the 26th week of the year was tallied at 302, up 169.6 percent from 112 tallied a year earlier.

The KDCA attributed the increasing figures to successive rainfalls in recent weeks creating many puddles where mosquito larvae can grow. It added that the recent heat wave may have also contributed to speeding up their growth.
질병청은 모기 증가 원인을 최근 몇 주간 연이어 비가 내려 모기 유충 서식에 적합한 물웅덩이가 많아졌기 때문이라고 분석했다. 또한 최근 폭염도 모기 유충의 성장을 가속화했을 수 있다고 덧붙였다.

KDCA officials said they are working together with local governments to remove puddles in malaria danger zones and enhance mosquito control efforts.
