Larvaciding Is Still Only Complimentary Program in Dengue Control?. 2019, (Type: POSTER PRESENTATION; Organisation:).
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Larvaciding program is one most costly effective strategy to reduce the number of dengue cases in Kota Kinabalu. The aim of the larva management is to interrupt the mosquito cycle despite fogging action. METHODS: The METHODS: was implemented every three months at 67 priority-1 area in Kota Kinabalu started on October 2018. RESULT: From the database, noted reducing dengue cases in Januari until March 2018 from 114 dengue cases to 74 dengue cases this year. Thus, no uncontrolled dengue outbreak erupted from the 67 areas. DISCUSSION: These strategies aim to improve the efficacy, cost-effectiveness, environmental impact and sustainability of vector control strategies.
