“…Poor practice against MBDs in both livestock-keeping and non-livestock-keeping communities was found in our study, with the average score of only 3.5 out of 11. This is similar to earlier results in Hanoi that found a low score for preventive practices of 1.5/11 [16], and many other studies from India [21,22,29,33,34], Indonesia [18], and Yemen [24]; but worse than results of another study in Indonesia which reported a high score of 9.2 out of 11 [35], Malaysia, Laos, and El Salvador [17,19,27]. A possible explanation for the poor practice of Hanoi citizens might be the gap in their knowledge and negligent attitude towards MBDs as evident from the quantitative and qualitative findings of this study.…”

“…However, both studies made the same conclusion about a low basic level of knowledge on the MBDs of Hanoi community [16]. Our result is in agreement with other studies suggesting low knowledge in tropical countries such as Laos [17], Indonesia [18], Malaysia [19], Nepal [20], India [21][22][23], Yemen [24] and Sri Lanka [25]. Nevertheless, one study conducted on Sint Eustatius island in the Eastern Caribbean and one study conducted in El Salvador showed a higher level of knowledge about MBDs [26,27].…”

“…It is supposed that office workers are those who regularly update their knowledge through the internet while the remaining people have more limitations about time and technology to access health information. Additionally, office workers might have higher level of education which was one of the associated factors for better knowledge on MBDs as shown in our qualitative result of health staff and other studies [16,18,24,32,35]. One study in Curaçao also found a positive association of level of education with the increase of accessing information on MBDs [37].…”

Mosquito-borne diseases (MBDs) are causing high morbidity and mortality for humans. Urban livestock keeping is still common in cities around the world. The animals may serve as reservoirs for zoonotic MBDs, which increase the risks for humans. Here we assess the knowledge and practices related to MBDs in households with livestock and without livestock and explore the perceptions of the health care sector about MBDs and livestock keeping in Hanoi city of Vietnam in a cross-sectional study. A quantitative survey was conducted including 513 households with and without livestock-keeping in six districts and complemented with qualitative surveys with four health staff from Hanoi Center of Disease Control and three district health centers. The quantitative survey indicated that the participants possessed basic knowledge on MBDs with an average score of 18.3 out of 35, of which non-livestock-keeping households had a better knowledge than households keeping livestock (p<0.05). Both household categories had low score, 3.5 out of 11, regarding preventive practices against MBDs. The negative binomial model showed that occupation and location of living were factors associated to the knowledge on MBDs. Farmers were likely to have better preventive practices as compared to office workers (p<0.05). Those who had better knowledge also had more adequate preventive practices against MBDs (p<0.001). The qualitative survey revealed that livestock keeping was determined as increasing risks of MBDs due to the increase of mosquito population. It is recommended that community campaigns to raise the awareness and change behavior on MBDs should be organized based on collaboration between the health sector and the veterinary sector for households with and without livestock living in central urban and peri-urban areas. Further studies are needed to confirm the association between urban livestock keeping and potential increasing risks of MBDs such as dengue and Japanese encephalitis.

Avaliar o conhecimento da população de São Miguel do Oeste -SC sobre a espécie Ae. aegypti e as doenças associadas. Métodos: A avaliação foi feita através da aplicação de um questionário para 396 pessoas. Resultados: 83,84% tem conhecimento sobre as doenças cujo vetor seja mosquito da espécie Ae.aegypti e 58,59% afirmaram conhecer o mosquito, porém, 6,06% não souberam descrevê. 98,99% tem conhecimento de que a responsabilidade de limpeza de caixa d'água e calhas é do cidadão e 83,84% acreditam que os noticiários sobre Ae. aegypti são informativos. 52% afirmaram que a falta de tempo é a maior dificuldade para combater o vetor. Conclusão: A população tem conhecimento sobre o controle e as doenças associadas ao mosquito, porém a falta de comprometimento de uma minoria coloca em risco o controle deste vetor. Logo,

In the tropics and subtropics climates worldwide, the dengue virus (DENV) is the most common of arboviruses and a significant public health threat. The severe disease usually occurs during the primary infection, but more serious cases begin after the second instance of infection with a different serotype. Humans' innate immune system is composed of monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells, and they are capable of mounting rapid inflammatory responses. These cells are also called primary antigen-presenting cells, and they are essential for the formation of the immune system's long-term memory mechanisms. Through scientific advances, valuable knowledge into the pathogenesis of more serious diseases, and new methods to the production of dengue vaccines and antiviral drugs have been provided. We summarized details in the current literature review, including references, abstracts, and full text of journal articles. So that, we tried to review all available studies that projected existing awareness about the immune response to the dengue virus and the current status of the vaccine. Such information was selected and extracted from the PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases for published data from 2000 to 2020 using relevant keywords containing a combination of terms, including dengue fever, epidemiology, clinical manifestation, immune response, and vaccine.
