STRATEGIES ON PREVENTION & CONTROL

Integrated approach to

disease control

-Reporting of dengue suspects

-Surveillance of Dengue Cases

Evidence based decision

making

- House to house inspection for the

presence of Aedes larvae

- Set indicators of at-risk barangays

( color codes)

STRATEGIES ON PREVENTION &

CONTROL

Larval control –the use of

ovi /larvae trap-female mosquitoes preferred

black containers in laying eggs.

STRATEGIES ON PREVENTION AND CONTROL

Space spraying/thermal fogging

- destruction of flying mosquitoes

by contact with

insecticides in the air

- effective if done every week for (4) weeks

- temporary in nature

- requires lot of

resources
