The complex interaction between dengue cases, entomological and meteorological variables has posed challenges for decades. Validated updated evidences are in need enhancing surveillance vector control of program. This study explores the relationship long run short-term dynamic Melaka, Malaysia. A multivariate time series with application Johansen Cointegration Test Vector Error Correction Model carried out to validate among temperature, ovitrap index (OI) sticky (SOI) data from 2020–2022....
In Malaysia, dengue remains a top priority disease and usage of insecticides is the main method for vector control. Limited baseline insecticide resistance data in hotspots has prompted us to conduct this study. The present study reports use map on susceptibility status Aedes aegypti albopictus provide quick visualization overview distribution resistance.The populations collected from 24 hotspot areas period December 2018 until June 2019 was proactively monitored using World Health...
Dengue is placing huge burdens on the Malaysian healthcare system as well economy. With expansion in number of high-rise residential buildings, particularly urban centers, flight range and behavior Aedes mosquitoes may be altered this habitat type. In study, we aimed to expand understanding vertical distribution dispersal nine selected residences Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Johor using ovitraps sampling method. We discovered that Ae. aegypti predominant species all study sites. Both albopictus...
Background Dengue is a mosquito-borne disease caused by four distinct, closely related dengue viruses (DENV). Global incidence has markedly increased in the past decades. The World Health Organization reported that cases from 505,430 2000 to 5.2 million 2019. Similarly, total Malaysia 7,103 peak of 130,101 Knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) remain most effective prevention control tools. Furthermore, school-based health education key enhancing knowledge raising awareness seriousness...
Abstract Two poorly studied, morphologically allied Alpinia species endemic to Borneo, viz., A. ligulata and nieuwenhuizii , were investigated here for their rhizome essential oil. The oil compositions antimicrobial activities compared with those of galanga a better known plant. A fair number compounds identified in the oils by GC‐FID GC/MS analyses, large differences composition between three species. was rich 1,8‐cineole (29.8%), while both found be extremely ( E )‐methyl cinnamate (36.4...
Abstract Currently, dengue control relies largely on reactive vector programmes. Proactive vector-control using a rational, well-balanced integrated management approach may prove more successful for control. As part of the development cluster randomized controlled epidemiological trial, study was conducted in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. The included one site (three buildings) and three intervention sites which were treated as follows: targeted outdoor residual spraying only (TORS site, two...
The incidence of dengue in Malaysia has shown an increasing trend since the year 2000. Vector control is primary approach for Malaysia. There urgent need new or modified approaches such as residual spraying on outer walls that can potentially last long enough to Aedes population, particularly outbreak-prone areas. In this field study, we conducted outdoor (ORS) using a newly formulated polymer-enhanced suspension concentrate (SC-PE) deltamethrin. objectives study were evaluate efficacy ORS...
In recent decades, dengue incidence has trended upward worldwide causing urgent needs for new or modified vector control methods. We the existing indoor residual spraying (IRS) method by applying insecticide on outer walls of building structures in an outdoor (ORS) study. A semi-field study was conducted to investigate bio-efficacy two different deltamethrin formulations: K-Othrine® Polyzone, polymer-enhanced formulated as a suspension concentrate (SC-PE), and WG 250, traditional water...
Abstract Background In common with many South East Asian countries, Malaysia is endemic for dengue. Dengue control in currently based on reactive vector management within 24 h of a dengue case being reported. Preventive rather than approaches, combined interventions, are expected to improve the cost-effectiveness programs. The principal objective this cluster randomized controlled trial quantify effectiveness preventive integrated (IVM) strategy incidence as compared routine efforts. Methods...
The mosquito Aedes aegypti is an epidemic vector of several diseases such as dengue fever and yellow fever. Several pesticides are used to control the population. Because their frequent use, some mosquitoes have developed resistance. In present study, we evaluated synergistic mosquito-repellent activity essential oils from Pelargonium radula , Syzgium aromaticum Citrus aurantifolia against by using Y-tube olfactometer. was subsequently analyzed GC–MS. These results clearly reveal that oil C....
Abstract Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic placed an unprecedented overload on healthcare system globally. With all medical resources being dedicated to contain the spread of disease, may have impacted burden other infectious diseases such as dengue, particularly in countries endemic for dengue fever. Indeed, co‐occurrence COVID‐19 made diagnosis challenging because some shared clinical manifestations between two pathogens. Furthermore, sudden emergence and novelty this global public health...
Abstract The interaction between dengue cases, entomological and meteorological variables has remained intricate for decades. Validated facts are important to form robust decision making with the adoption of safer sustainable efforts. This study aims elucidate relationship in long run short-term dynamic focusing Melaka, Malaysia, an attempt improve understanding their temporal associations. quantifies on associations, potential time lags, interplays all variable data sets. research applies a...

Preventive rather than approaches, combined interventions, are expected to improve the cost-effectiveness programs. The principal objective this cluster randomized controlled trial quantify effectiveness preventive integrated (IVM) strategy incidence as compared routine efforts....
