Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Dengue infection is caused by dengue virus which is a mosquito-borne flavivirus transmitted by female Aedes mosquito that can lead to dengue fever. Tanjung Aru Sub-district is a priority-one area that erupts one episode of dengue hotspot in February 2018 with 18 cases. METHODS: Prevention and reducing dengue virus transmission depends entirely on controlling the mosquito vectors or interruption of human -vector contact. The investigator responsibilities are to conduct a case investigation to identify the potential source of infection, initiate control and prevention measures to prevent the spread of the disease and record the data into e-dengue. RESULTS: From the database, noted shortfall in quality in search and destroy operation. They only achieved 65 % of houses which is 217 houses out of 335 houses. Vector control team uses Acetylic as an insecticide and 20 caj or five teams are the standard of operational to cover for 200-metre radius, but vector team is under the standard that only three teams or 12 caj. DISCUSSION: The reason that this operation does not achieve target is due to control team had discovered nine other outbreaks at the same time. Community participation is vital to prevent and control the spread of dengue in the outbreak area. Integrated vector management (IVM) incorporate social mobilization and behavioral change at the community level as part of a wider strategy to control dengue. These strategies aim to improve the efficacy, cost-effectiveness, environmental impact and sustainability of vector control strategies.
