Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Continued geographic expansion of dengue viruses and their mosquito vectors has seen the magnitude and frequency of epidemic dengue/dengue hemorrhagic fever (DF/DHF) increase dramatically. Recent exciting research on dengue has resulted in major advances in our understanding of all aspects of the biology of these viruses, and this updated second edition brings together leading research and clinical scientists to review dengue virus biology, epidemiology, entomology, therapeutics, vaccinology and clinical management.

Download or read book Prevention and Control of Dengue and Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever written by WHO Regional Office for the Western Pacific and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive guide to the diagnosis, clinical management, epidemiological, surveillance, prevention and control of dengue and dengue haemorrhagic fever. Although guidelines and advice are universally relevant, the manual is specifically designed for use in South-East Asian countries, where dengue fever remains a major public health concern. Recommendations and advice respond to research demonstrating that different geographic areas show a variable response to infection, have different epidemiological patterns, and require different approaches to control. The book also responds to past failures to control dengue in these countries, citing almost exclusive concentration on space spraying of adult mosquitoes as one of the most important causes. With these problems in mind, the book places major emphasis on measures that can make communities responsible for vector control in the domestic environment as the best way to secure sustained improvements in prevention and control. The book has twelve chapters. The first summarizes what is known about the virus, vector, host, transmission cycle, and virus-host interactions. A brief overview of the global situation is followed by a detailed chronology of the resurgence of dengue in South-East Asia. Clinical manifestations and diagnosis are covered in chapter two, which includes precise criteria for reaching a diagnosis based on clinical manifestations and laboratory findings. Chapter three, on clinical management, gives particular attention to the management of dengue shock syndrome as a medical emergency. The important role of laboratory diagnosis is addressed in chapter four, which describes in detail the laboratory confirmatory tests that are essential for diagnosis. A chapter offering advice on the epidemiological surveillance of cases and vectors is followed by a brief description of vector distribution and bioecology. The second half of the book is devoted to strategies for prevention and control, emphasizing vector control measures that can be undertaken by communities as the best approach to successful and sustainable control. Detailed advice, supported by line drawings, checklists, and charts, is given for all appropriate environmental, biological, and chemical methods of vector control. The book also includes a chapter explaining how to develop an emergency plan for rapid response to epidemics. Further practical guidance is provided in a series of fifteen annexes, which include a model arbovirus laboratory request form, a guide to the relative sensitivity and interpretation of serological tests, and abundant advice on environmental and chemical methods of vector control specific to South-East Asia.

Download or read book Dengue and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever in the Americas written by Pan American Sanitary Bureau and published by Pan American Health Organization. This book was released on 1994 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dengue and its potentially fatal forms, dengue henorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome, once more threaten much of the Americas. In the 1980s the vector control programmes fell victim to the cutbacks in public health expenditure and their responses to dengue outbreaks tended to be a little too late. These guidelines have risen to the challenge by incorporating all aspects of the prevention and control of the disease and its vectors. In addition, because dengue is primarily a problem of domestic sanitation and households can combat the problem inexpensively. The guidelines enmphasize ways to transfer responsibility for dengue control and prevention to the community."

This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main objective of these guidelines is to provide practical information on the steps for preventing and controlling outbreaks of dengue hemorrhagic fever. The main emphasis is on vector surveillance and control, and priority is given to simple environmental measures which individuals and communities can take to eliminate larval breeding. The strategy used to control adult Aedes mosquitos before and during outbreaks is given within the framework of a comprehensive, controlled approach, which includes personal protection measures, space spraying, legislation and the early recognition and treatment of dengue hemorrhagic fever cases. These guidelines should be a valuable source of information for those engaged in controlling dengue hemorrhagic fever.
