Disease burden Population at Risk Endemic countries Infections/yr Severe Dengue Numbers 3.9 billion million 2.1 million Deaths/year Integrated Dengue Management Suppression of mosquito vectors through source reduction (and space spray in transmission area) Infectious Disease Act Control of Vectors and Pesticides Act EPH (Environmental Control Officers) Regulations Legislations Surveillance, Research and Risk Assessment Communication and messaging Public Education and mobilisation Education Incidence rates per 1, Increasing dengue incidence rates in Singapore - despite low Aedes house index : Vector control programme 1969 Keep Singapore c lean & mosquito free campaign 1974: 75% of urban slums cleared (HDB) 1998: Control of Vector & Pestic ide Ac t 26: Early warning system and risk stratification 26, dedicated mosquito control programme in TCs Year Aedes house index: number of premise with mosquito breeding, among 1 checked Aedes house index ( ) Dengue7/ CM H/
