Tackling Dengue Issue Need Proactive Measures: A Narrative Review of Current Level of Prevention and Control of Dengue in Malaysia
Author(s): Wei Zheng Zhang*
Background: Dengue is a severe mosquito-borne disease that is endemic in tropical and subtropical regions, including Malaysia. Dengue appears to lack both a particular treatment and an effective tetravalent vaccination. Suppression of the two most significant vectors, Aedes Aegypti and Aedes Albopictus, is the only method for controlling dengue.

This review is to determine the current level of prevention and control of dengue in Malaysia. Method: This review derived from 35 kinds of literature obtained from PubMed, red journal I Dengue, WHO Library database (WHOLIS), WPRO, International Journal of Environmental Research in Public Health (IJERPH), ResearchGate, Spring- er, Vector Biology Journal and PLOS Neglected Tropic Diseases that were published in English between 1992..
