Community capacity for sustainable community-based dengue prevention and control: study of a sub–district in Southern Thailand

Household survey of container–breeding mosquitoes and climatic factors influencing the prevalence of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) in Makkah City, Saudi Arabia

“…According to this author, a level of larval infestation comprised between 2% and 5% is enough to keep dengue endemic and to trigger small-scale outbreaks. In the present study, BI was 1.66 during DS and as high as 4.83 for the wet period, resulting in an average of 3.24. Referring to Vanzie [74][75][76][77][78][79] , it appears clear that the annual and WS's BI obtained in Makkah City are within the range believed to require attention, as they indicate increased population maintenance and are adequate to cause outbreaks.…”

Bioactivity of seagrass against the dengue fever mosquito Aedes aegypti larvae

“…The evidence for the use of marine flora to be precise in treatment of human aliments is extensive. In Asian maritime areas, seagrass are used as curative agents for various maladies such as anti malarial [11,12,20] , antibacterial [16,17] , antihelmintic, cough, antipyretic, wound healing, treatment of gallstone and goiter [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] . The studies on seaweed extracts with larvicidal activities are too restricted.…”

“…Methods: Seagrass extracts, Syringodium isoetifolium (S. isoetifolium), Cymodocea serrulata and Halophila beccarii, were dissolved in DMSO to prepare a graded series of concentration. Batches of 25 early 4th instars larvae of Aedes aegypti (Ae. aegypti) were transferred to 250 mL enamel bowl containing 199 mL of distilled water and 1 mL of plant extracts (0.01 mg -0.1 mg).…”

The community capacity building for sustainable dengue problem solution (CCB-SDPS) model: The results from studies in community, southern region, Thailand

“…In the process of the community capacity building for sustainable dengue prevention and control was the community capacity domains of the leader group (14 domains) and non-leader group (11 domains) [18,19]. There were three domains of the leader group more than the non-leader group-Leaders group networking domain, Leaders group and community networking domain, and Community participation domain as following:…”

“…The study was studied in 2009-2010 [18]. The objectives of this study were to assess the level of community capacity for dengue prevention and control in two communities, Southern, Thailand.…”
