- Mosquito-borne diseases are a growing concern globally, impacting the health of rural families living below the poverty line (BPL); this study examines their awareness and protective measures against these diseases.
- A cross-sectional study was conducted on 96 BPL families in a rural area recognized for its sanitation efforts, gathering data on their vector protection practices, waste management, and knowledge of diseases through surveys.
