Prevention and control

WHO/TDR/Crump

At present, the only method to control or prevent the transmission of dengue virus is to combat vector mosquitoes through:

• preventing mosquitoes from accessing egg-laying habitats by environmental management and modification;
• disposing of solid waste properly and removing artificial man-made habitats;
• covering, emptying and cleaning of domestic water storage containers on a weekly basis;
• applying appropriate insecticides to water storage outdoor containers;
• using of personal household protection such as window screens, long-sleeved clothes, insecticide treated materials, coils and vaporizers;
• improving community participation and mobilization for sustained vector control;
• applying insecticides as space spraying during outbreaks as one of the emergency vector-control measures;
• active monitoring and surveillance of vectors should be carried out to determine effectiveness of control interventions.

WHO response

WHO responds to dengue in the following ways:

• supports countries in the confirmation of outbreaks through its collaborating network of laboratories;
• provides technical support and guidance to countries for the effective management of dengue outbreaks;
• supports countries to improve their reporting systems and capture the true burden of the disease;
• provides training on clinical management, diagnosis and vector control at the regional level with some of its collaborating centres;
• formulates evidence-based strategies and policies;
• develops new tools, including insecticide products and application technologies;
• gathers official records of dengue and severe dengue from over 100 Member States; and
• publishes guidelines and handbooks for case management, dengue prevention and control for Member States.
