“…It is a great concern in many other countries. 14,15,19,36,38,39 In our study context, health staff or people from mass organizations and relevant stakeholders normally had a low basic wage. They would not receive more allowance even if work harder to fulfill their tasks in the dengue vector control program.…”

“…12 There has been an increasing trend of community-based participatory interventions using integrated community engagement strategies in the recent decades. [13][14][15][16][17] However, findings from a systematic review indicated that the evidencebased community engagement in dengue vector control programs was still weak. 18 Also, multi-entity coordination and partnership between relevant stakeholders in most dengue programs have been limited.…”

The dengue situation in the urban setting of Hanoi city, Vietnam, is emerging, focusing on inner districts. Previous studies showed that a dengue vector control program in Hanoi was not effective because of the lack of adequate engagement of the local government authorities, health sector, and community. This implementation research aimed to explore barriers to implementing community engagement in a dengue vector control program in an urban district of Hanoi city. Ten in-depth interviews and 14 focus group discussions were conducted at Lang Thuong, Khuong Thuong, Tho Quan, and Kim Lien wards in Dong Da district, Hanoi city. Data collection was implemented from April to June 2017. All discussions were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data were analyzed using the content analysis approach. Secondary data from the dengue vector control program reports were used to support the qualitative evidence. We found that the barriers to implementing effective community engagement were as follows: 1) lack of interest and an attitude of dependency on action from the health sector of local people's committee, 2) lack of enthusiasm of mass organizations and community leaders, 3) overburdened workloads and lack of communication skills from health sector, 4) low awareness and readiness from community, 5) lack of detailed policy guidelines and low enforcement of related policy, and 6) limited budget. Recommended actions should be made to improve the community engagement in the current resourcelimited context of Vietnam by both top-down and bottom-up approaches.

For the past several decades, the infectious disease profile in China has been shifting with rapid developments in social and economic aspects, environment, quality of food, water, housing, and public health infrastructure. Notably, 5 notifiable infectious diseases have been almost eradicated, and the incidence of 18 additional notifiable infectious diseases has been significantly reduced. Unexpectedly, the incidence of over 10 notifiable infectious diseases, including HIV, brucellosis, syphilis, and dengue fever, has been increasing. Nevertheless, frequent infectious disease outbreaks/events have been reported almost every year, and imported infectious diseases have increased since 2015. New pathogens and over 100 new genotypes or serotypes of known pathogens have been identified. Some infectious diseases seem to be exacerbated by various factors, including rapid urbanization, large numbers of migrant workers, changes in climate, ecology, and policies, such as returning farmland to forests. This review summarizes the current experiences and lessons from China in managing emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, especially the effects of ecology, climate, and behavior, which should have merits in helping other countries to control and prevent infectious diseases.

“…The key measure for preventing the transmission continues to be vector control since no effective vaccine and no specific treatment are available (WHO, 2009). However, vector control methods have often a limited success rate, not only because of increasing insecticide resistance where chemical methods are used (Nathan, 2013;Barrera, 2016;), but also because of the lack of community participation and the unsustainability of resource intensive vector control in some countries (Lin et al, 2016). The need to prevent the diseases has resulted in new technological innovations including the use of drones with cameras to identify breeding places, computing systems for monitoring and tracking high transmission areas, case tracking of index cases, software for epidemiological surveys and mobile devices for communication and networking (Boger and Low, 2016;Sood and Mahajan, 2017; Sareen et al, 2017; de Souza Silva et al, 2018).…”

Background: The rapid expansion of dengue, Zika and chikungunya with large scale outbreaks are an increasing public health concern in many countries. Additionally, the recent coronavirus pandemic urged the need to get connected for fast information transfer and exchange. As response, health programmes have -among other interventions- incorporated digital tools such as mobile phones for supporting the control and prevention of infectious diseases. However, little is known about the benefits of mobile phone technology in terms of input, process and outcome dimensions. The purpose of this scoping review is to analyse the evidence of the use of mobile phones as an intervention tool regarding the performance, acceptance, usability, feasibility, cost and effectiveness in dengue, Zika and chikungunya control programmes. Methods: We conducted a scoping review of studies and reports by systematically searching: i) electronic databases (PubMed, PLOS ONE, PLOS Neglected Tropical Disease, LILACS, WHOLIS, ScienceDirect and Google scholar), ii) grey literature, using Google web and iii) documents in the list of references of the selected papers. Selected studies were categorized using a pre-determined data extraction form. Finally, a narrative summary of the evidence related to general characteristics of available mobile health tools and outcomes was produced. Results: The systematic literature search identified 1289 records, 32 of which met the inclusion criteria. From the reference lists of included articles 4 records were identified coming to a total of 36 studies. The content analysis identified five mobile phone categories: mobile applications (n = 18), short message services (n=7), camera phone (n = 6), mobile phone tracking data (n = 4), and simple mobile communication (n = 1). These devices were used for surveillance, prevention and management. In general, mobile phone-based studies reported good performance, acceptance by users, usability in downloads as well as feasibility of mobile phone under real life conditions and effectiveness in terms of contributing to a reduction of vectors and disease. It can be concluded that there are great opportunities for using mobile phones in the fight against arboviral diseases as well as other epidemic diseases . Further studies particularly on acceptance, cost and effectiveness at scale are recommended.
