Implementation of guppy fish and a novel larvicide for dengue control in Cambodia

This qualitative study aims to better understand the community acceptance and perceptions of biological controls that would overcome insecticide resistance, for consideration in dengue control strategies for the future.

  
Controlling vectors and engaging communities to prevent dengue in Cambodia


Project brief

Controlling vectors and engaging communities to prevent dengue in Cambodia

To prevent and limit dengue transmission, we trialled a socio-ecological vector control strategy using guppy fish distribution for larval source control, and the introduction of low-cost mosquito traps, combined with social interventions.

  
Dengue situation in Bangladesh: An epidemiological shift in terms of morbidity and mortality


Journal article

Dengue situation in Bangladesh: An epidemiological shift in terms of morbidity and mortality

In this study, climatic changes and rapid unplanned urbanization were strong predictors of an ecological imbalance that led to increased dengue cases in 2016, and the emergence of chikungunya virus in Bangladesh in 2017.
