    Study Notes

    Vector Control in the Field

    • Stepwise approach in dengue notification:
      • Arrival of suspected patient at the health facility
      • Notification to Health District Office within 24 hours
      • Inspection of patient's house and environment for risks of Aedes breeding ground (200m radius)
      • Conduct fogging and source reduction
      • Alert the Vector Control Unit

    Stepwise Approach in Outpatient Management

    • History, physical examination, laboratory investigation (FBC, Dengue combo Rapid Test kit: NS1Ag, IgM, & IgG)
    • Assessment of disease severity
    • Diagnosis, whether provisional or confirmed, and decision to be warded or not
    • Plan of management and notification to nearest district health office via phone and disease notification form Health 1 within 24 hours

    Responsibilities of State Health Department

    • Coordinating, monitoring, and analyzing dengue prevention and control activities in the state
    • Activating and coordinating Dengue State Crisis Preparedness and Response Centre (CPRC) that operates daily
    • Tasks include:
      • Epidemiological Surveillance: making plans and recommendations on case detection and vector control implementation based on disease monitoring and feeding information to e-dengue and i-dengue
      • Vector surveillance: routine mosquito surveillance for planning and strategies dengue prevention and Aedes control activities
      • Quality Control Assessment
      • Multi-sectorial collaboration

    Control Measures for Dengue

    • Strategies for dengue prevention and control in Malaysia as recommended by WHO:
      • Vector control based on the principles of integrated vector management
      • Active disease surveillance based on a comprehensive health information system
      • Emergency preparedness
      • Capacity building and training
      • Vector control research

    Vector Control Measures

    • House inspection: Breteau Index, House Index, Container index
    • Elimination of breeding sites (PTP)
    • Larva control: Mass larviciding (Abate, Bti)
    • Ovitrap sentinel
    • Sticky ovitrap
    • Adult mosquito control: Insecticide spraying
    • Health Education Unit: advertisements, campaigns, and publicity related to dengue

    Insecticide Spraying

    • Thermal fogging: uses the principle of a resonant pulse to produce hot gas (above 200°C at high speed) to kill mosquitoes, flies, and cockroaches
    • Ultra Low Volume (ULV) spraying: uses a minimum of insecticides (500 ml/ha) to kill vectors, with a resulting droplet size of 10-15µm
    • Knapsack sprayer: commonly used for larviciding, spraying insecticidal residues on walls or floors, and spraying insecticides on field habitats
    • Residual insecticide for malaria vector control: spraying with knapsack spray, used in malaria endemic areas for home spraying
    • Impregnated bednets: used to reduce drug usage for malaria control, with permethrin-soaked bednets given to villagers and Orang Asli
    • Recent evaluation of pyrethroid against dengue vector in the field: studies conducted on dengue endemic, using Aedes spp adults and larvae to evaluate the effects of insecticides

    Safety in Using Insecticide

    • Insecticides should be used with caution to avoid harming users, society, and the environment.
