•Blood borne viral disease spread by the bite of aedis aegypti mosquito•2 forms: Dengue fever + Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever •Up to 40% fatality in epidemics•No drugs or vaccines that work!
Dengue
3VC1C
VCWASH Cluster – Emergency Training
Thrives in close proximity to humans
Transmitted by infected female mosquito
Aedes: The efficient vectorOften bites several people for one blood meal.
Found mainly in urban and semi urban areas
Lays eggs in artificial water containers
Short flight range of about 200 meters
Feeds preferentially on human blood

VCWASH Cluster – Emergency Training
Increased risk in Burma following Cyclone
Nargis because of;– Overcrowded conditions
– Fresh water was stored in unprotected containers
– Debris permits water collection and forms breeding sites
– Rural populations displaced to urban settings have lower herd immunity
