• Most common arthropod borne viral
disease
• One of the most important Emerging
diseases of the tropical & subtropical
regions affecting urban & peri-urban areas.
• Multifaceted epidemiology
Dengue fever
Dengue virus
 Group B arbovirus , genus -flavivirus
 There are four serotypes of dengue (1 to 4)
closely related to one another.
 Recovery from one serotype provides
lifelong immunity
 Sequential infection increases the risk of
more serious disease resulting in DHF.

Watch out ! This Mosquito
• Day biting – Female mosquito normally catches us unaware
• Domestic breeder - urban mosquito
• Breeding habit - artificially collected water in homes
• Resting habit – endophilic , Dark corners of home
• Feeding habit - Anthrophilic
• Nervous feeder ( bite more than one host)
• Discordant species (more than one feed for complete
gonotrophic cycle)
• Transovarian transmission of virus
• Dispersal – 100 mt. only
Aedes aegypti
Aedes albopictus
“Tiger Mosquito”
Breeding habits
Aedes aegypti
• Aedes aegypti mosquito breeds in any type of man made containers or
storage containers having even a small quantity of water
• Eggs of Aedes aegypti can survive without water up to one year. But water
is essential during first 8 days of life of mosquito.
Environmental factors
• Aedes aegypti fluctuates with rain fall & water storage
• Survives best between temp. 16 0 c -30 0 c & Humidity - 60 – 80 %
• Even with 20 c increase in temp., Extrinsic Incubation Period of
DENV will be shortened.
• More infected mosquitos are available for longer duration.
• Because of dehydration mosquito will bite more frequently &
increases man - mosquito contact.

Dengue case definition
Probable DF/DHF
• A case compatible with clinical description of dengue fever during outbreak or
• Non ELISA based NS 1antigen/ IgM positive*
Confirmed dengue fever
• A case compatible with the clinical description of dengue with at least one of the following
• Isolation of dengue virus (Virus culture+ VE) from serum, plasma, leucocyte
• Demonstration of IgM antibody by ELISA positive in single serum sample
• Demonstration of dengue virus antigen in serum sample by NS-1 ELISA
• IgG serocnversion in paired sera after 2 weeks with four fiold increase in IgG titer
• Detection of viral nucleic acid by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
* A positive test by RDT will be considered as probable due to poor sensitivity specificity of currently available RDTs
Treatment of Dengue
• Supportive measures –Antipyretics, oxygen as per need
• Plenty of water and salt are required
• Monitor BP, haematocrit, platelet count, RFT, LFT
• Watch level of consciousness, signs of bleeding
• Avoid Aspirin and pain killers
• Steroids should not be used
• Children below 12 require careful watch for dangerous form
• No antibiotics are of proven value

Environmental modification
Removal of natural breeding sites
 Turn pails and watering cans
over and store them under shelter.
 Remove water in plant pot plates. Clean and scrub the
plate thoroughly to remove mosquito eggs. Avoid the use
of plant pot plates, if possible.
 Loosen soil from potted plants to prevent
the accumulation of stagnant water on the
surface of the hardened soil.
 Cover rarely used gully traps. Replace the
gully trap with non-perforated ones and
install anti-mosquito valves.
Entomological surveillance
Larval Surveys
House index (HI)
• Percentage of houses infected with larvae or pupae
Container Index (CI)
• Percentage of water holding container infected with larvae or pupae
Breteau Index (BI)
• No. of positive containers per 100 houses inspected
Pupae Index (PI)
• No. of pupae per 100 houses inspected
• AnHI>5%&/or a BI>20for anylocality isan indication that the locality isdengue
sensitive and therefore adequate preventive measures should betaken
Entomological surveillance
Adult Surveys
Landing/biting collection
• Presence of aedes aegypti mosquito can be reliable indicator of clear proximity to hidden larvae
habitats
• It is expressed as landing/ biting counts per man hour.
Resting collection
• Mosquitoes typically rest indoors, especially in bedrooms and mostly in dark places, such as cloth
closets and other sheltered sites
• Mosquito searched with the aid of flashlight & Recorded as number of adults per house per man
hour of human efforts
Oviposition traps
• Ovitraps are devices used to detect presence of Aedes aegypti where population density is low
(BI < 5) (urban areas)
• Used to evaluate impact of adulticidal space spraying on female adult mosquito population
Vector control
Chemical control
Larvicide
• Temephos - (50 EC) 1ppm (1mg per lit. of water)
Adulticide
• e.g. Malathion fogging or ULV spray
• Pyrethrum spray ( 0.1%-o.2%) – Indoor spray
(30-60 ml /1000 cu. ft.)
• Commercial spray – 2% pyrethrum is diluted by kerosene
into 20 lit. to make o.1% formulation.
Repellents
• DEET, indalone, diethyl benzamide, dimethyl phathalate.
Larvivorous Fish
Gambusia
affinis
Lebister
reticulatus
Aphanius
dispar
 Mosquito larvae are typically good source of food
for organisms such as the
 Larvae-eating fish(e.g. Gambusia “mosquito
fish”),
 Immature dragonflies and damselflies,
 Aquatic beetles, and
 Certain aquatic organisms such as planaria
 Endotoxin producing bacteria
 Bacillus thuringiensis iserailensis (Bti)
Biological control
Vector control
Genetic control
Methods such as
1. Sterile male technique
2. Cytoplasmic incompatability
3. Chromosomal translocations
4. Sex distortion
5. Gene replacement
Limitations:
1. Lack ofmating competitiveness released males.
2. Immigration of fertile females from regions close to the release sites.
Repellants
Personal protection
a) Mosquito net: ITBN treated with
Deltamethrin
b) Screening: of windows, not >0.0475 inch in
any diameter.
c) Repellants : DEET, indalone, diethyl
benzamide, dimethyl phathalate.
Bednet hole size :
Not bigger than 1.2 to 1.5 mm. diameter.
i.e. 6 to 8 holes to 10 mm. linear length.
Dosage :
25 mg Deltamethrin / sq. mt.
OR
50 mg Cyfluthrin / sq. mt.
Behavioral change communication campaign
Massive, Repetative, Intense and Persistent
 Educate public on – Transmission of disease, mosquito
breeding sites, symptoms of Dengue, vector control measures.
 Mass media - T.V., Radio, Newspapers, cable etc.
 Outdoor publicity – Hoardings, miking, rallies
 Health education material distributed –pamphlets, handbills.
 Interpersonal communication – group meetings, folk media
 Involvement of VHSC, ASHA
Inter-sectoral Collaboration & community participationis the key
components for prevention and control of Dengue

Global strategy for Dengue prevention & control
( 2012 - 2020)
 Dengue has global threat that require global response.
 Coordination & collaboration among multi-sectoral partners on
Integrated vector management approach
 Goals –
1) To reduce mortality by at least 50 % by 2020
2) To reduce morbidity by at least 25 % by 2020
3) To estimate true burden of the disease by 2015
Take home message….
DHF as a serious Public Health Problem
Early diagnosis and treatment of cases
Stop spread of disease
• Passive surveillance • Active surveillance
Elimination of breeding places of mosquito.
• Used tyres, bottles and containers should be disposed of properly.
Personal protection:
• Use of mosquito nets, repellant creams, mosquito coils, mats and
aerosols.
