Table 2.
Requirement for Reversing the Trends of Increased Incidence and Geographic Spread of Dengue
1 | Prevent the movement of vectors and viruses via globalization |
2 | Build entomologic, epidemiologic and laboratory capacity in dengue endemic countries |
3 | Develop laboratory-based, active disease surveillance in dengue endemic countries |
4 | Develop regional Ae aegypti control programs |
5 | Use vaccines for prevention (as opposed to emergency response) |
6 | Obtain political will and resources to develop and support these programs long term |
