What is Dengue Fever?• Dengue fever, also know as

breakbone fever, is an acute communicable disease caused by virus.

• Infectious agent: Dengue viruses (categorize into types 1,2,3,4)

Page 4: DF2

4

• About 50 million cases annually worldwide

• Incidence of dengue fever highest in tropical and subtropical regions

• Recent increase in disease activity worldwide

Vectors of Dengue Fever

Aedes albopictus

The life cycle of a vector mosquito is dividedinto the 4 stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult

Aedes aegypti

Page 7: DF2

7

Habitual Behaviour of Vectors

• Usually breed in stagnant water• Usually active in dark or shaded places outdoors, but

indoor activity is also possible• Female mosquitoes feed on human blood.• They are most active 2 hours before sunset (around

5pm to 6pm) and at around 8am to 9am.• Where do they sting? Outdoors and indoors.

Page 8: DF2

Mode of Transmission

• A healthy person gets the disease when he is bitten by an infected mosquito. The virus enters his blood from the mosquito’s saliva.

• An infected person could transmit the virus to mosquitoes if he is bitten by a mosquito anytime from the onset to the subsidence of the fever (a period of about 6 to 7 days). The disease is then spread by mosquitoes.

• Dengue fever is not spread by contact with infected persons.

fever

Page 11: DF2

11

Symptoms of Classical Dengue (1)

• Fever: continuous for 3 to 5 days

• Severe headache

• Painful limbs, joint pain, muscle pain, back pain, pain behind eyeballs

Page 12: DF2

12

Symptoms of Classical Dengue (2)

•Rash appears on the 3rd to 4th day after onset. •Nausea, vomiting.•Slight gum bleeding and nasal bleeding.•Extreme fatigue and depression may follow recovery.• In very rare cases, the condition may worsen

into dengue haemorrhagic fever, leading to haemorrhage, shock or even death.

Page 13: DF2

13

Treatment (1)• At present, there is no drug that can

treat dengue fever effectively. Patients infected with classical dengue usually recovers in 1 to 2 weeks.

• For serious cases, supportive treatments are provided by hospitals.

• If you suspect that you have dengue fever, you should seek medical treatment promptly.

Page 14: DF2

14

Treatment (2)• Wiping the body with warm

water and proper use of anti-fever drugs that can relieve the fever.

• Don’t take aspirin-containing drugs because they worsen the haemorrhage.

Protect Yourself against Dengue Fever

As yet, there is no effective vaccine against dengue fever. Therefore, the best prevention is to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes by paying attention to the following:

•Avoid staying in dark, outdoor places such as brushwood, pavilions or the shade of a tree during the hours when Aedes albopictus is active.

Page 16: DF2

16

Control the Spread of Dengue Fever

Prevent the patient from being bitten by mosquitoes.

Page 17: DF2

17

Prevention of Mosquito Bites

Avoid going out in the hours when Aedes albopictus feed or wear light-coloured, long-sleeved clothing and trousers.

Page 18: DF2

18

Prevention of Mosquito Bites

•Apply DEET-containing mosquito-repellents over exposed parts of the body and clothes every 4 to 6 hours.

•For DEET products used by children, its concentration should be less than 10%.

Page 19: DF2

19

Prevention of Mosquito Bites

Your place of accommodation should have air-conditioners or mosquito nets. Otherwise, hang mosquito screens around your bed, use insecticides or coil incenses to repel mosquitoes.

Page 20: DF2

20

Prevention of Mosquito Bites

Install mosquito nets to doors and windows so that mosquitoes can’t get in.

Page 21: DF2

21

Elimination of Mosquitoes

The most effective way to eliminate mosquitoes is tokeep the environment clean and to remove stagnant water so that mosquitoes can’t breed.

Page 22: DF2

22

Possible Breeding Grounds of Aedes Albopictus (1)

Artificial containers:

Vases, saucers underneath flower pots, trays underneath air-conditioners, buckets, jars and jugs of earthenware, cement troughs, dumped tyres and solid wastes such as cans, disposable cups and bowls, and plastic bags.

Page 23: DF2

23

Possible Breeding Grounds of Aedes Albopictus (2)

Natural containers:

The hollow space inside a bamboo, hollows of a tree and the rachis of a leaf.

Page 24: DF2

24

Elimination of Mosquitoes

Cover water containers tightly so that mosquitoes can’t get in to lay eggs.

Page 25: DF2

25

Elimination of Mosquitoes

• Dispose of domestic wastes properly to prevent the accumulation of stagnant water.

• Dispose of empty bottles, cans and lunchboxes properly, such as into a covered bin.

Page 26: DF2

26

Elimination of Mosquitoes•Change water for vases and aquatic plants at least once a week, leaving no water under

the pots or in the bottom saucers.

•Scrub the container surfaces thoroughly to prevent mosquito eggs

sticking on them.

Page 27: DF2

27

Elimination of Mosquitoes

Remove or puncture any dumped tyres to prevent the accumulation of stagnant water.

Page 28: DF2

28

Elimination of Mosquitoes

Ditches should be free from blockage.

Page 29: DF2

29

Elimination of Mosquitoes

Fill up uneven ground surfaces to prevent the accumulation of stagnant water.

Page 30: DF2

30

Elimination of Mosquitoes

Remove stagnant water immediately if mosquitoes are found to be breeding. Use environmentally friendly insecticides such as lavicidal oil if necessary.

Page 31: DF2

31

Elimination of Mosquitoes

In cultivation ponds, water tanks or large containers, biological controls such as keeping fishes to eat mosquito larvae would be a good option.

Page 32: DF2

5 M Principles

• 1. drain Clean (drain) Water storage (such as bath / WC, drums, etc.) once a week.

• 2. Closing Cover the crock Back Meetings taxable income take on water, so that mosquitoes Dengue CAN NOT SIGN And laying there.

• 3. Changing Replace the air flower vases and pot plant air EVERY day.

• 4. Bury Grave and cast in place, plastic, and secondhand goods Can the rain flooded the air.

• 5. Sowing For air Places that impossible or difficult drained. Sprinkle the powder abate TO hearts the puddle to review kill mosquito larva. Repeat husband EVERY THING OR 2-3 months Once a fish guard in place ITU.

Abate Powder

Abate powder dosing USE AS is the following:

•Enough for 10 liters of air with 1 gram of powder abate OR 10 grams for a review of 100 liters and so on.

•If NO tools for review of measure, use a spoon meal. One Spoon Eating pressed (which leveled on it) Contains 10 grams abate.

•You stay dividing OR add According to requirement. It should not Exactly correct dose.

•Abate CAN Purchased in pharmacies.

•Just kill mosquito larvae Still NOT Enough for Life left.

The school is an ideal setting for health promotion.

Targets: all staff, students and parents.• Enhance their understanding of mosquito-borne

diseases. • Raise their awareness of dengue fever and evaluate the

risks of it.• Encourage members of the whole school to play an

active part in mosquito elimination.• Eliminate black spots of mosquito breeding.

Page 36: DF2

36

Black Spots of Mosquito Breeding

• Garden / gardening corner / saucers underneath flower pots / aquatic plants

• Tuckshop• Rubbish collection stations• Ditches• Toilets• Water tanks / pools

Page 37: DF2

37

Eliminate mosquitoes:

• Planning, manpower arrangement, areas to be inspected, inspection time and record

• Please call the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department’s hotline for assistance if required: 2868 0000

Mosquito Elimination Checklist (1)

• Are containers and other items where water could accumulate disposed of properly?

(For example, throwing empty cans, foam rubber boxes, cups and bottles into a covered bin.)

• Are water containers covered properly?

Page 39: DF2

39

Mosquito Elimination Checklist (2)

• Are ditches free from blockage?• Are containers with stagnant water cleaned

regularly? (For example, vases, saucers underneath

flower pots, water storage device of an air-conditioner, water tanks and pools.)

• Are uneven ground surfaces filled to prevent the accumulation of stagnant water?

See Doctor Immediately•Having been bitten by a mosquito and displaying symptoms of dengue fever afterwards

•Falling ill, especially having a fever within one month after you have returned from abroad

important thing to do is to

see a doctor.
