Vector Control Approaches in Dengue Prevention & Control
2. Larvaciding
▪ Sand granule/ capsule/ solutions
▪ Using Temephos or Bacillus Thuringiensis Israelensis (Bti)
▪ Done at any site that has potential breeding containers eg: back lane /empty
lots/ bushes/ building structure
▪ ‘Community larvaciding’

2. Sterile Insect Technique (SIT)
3. Dengue Forecasting

1. Wolbachia mosquito release
Intracellular bacteria
32
Wolbachia have been proven to block the virus replication in
mosquito
HOW?
i. Boost the natural immune systems
of the mosquito
ii. Consume cholesterol inside the
mosquito
33
➢ Field trial phase by IMR in 2017: all localities shows
reduction in cases
Malaysia adopts
Replacement Strategy
2 important endpoints:-
1. Epidemiological Endpoints
❖Weekly confirmed dengue cases reported in the area
2. 2. Entomological Endpoints
❖Wolbachia frequency (%) in the environment

PREPARATION BEFORE RELEASE OF ADULT WOLBACHIA MOSQUITOES
2. STERILE INSECT TECHNIQUE (SIT)
• The SIT was among the first biological insect control methods
designed for area wide application (AW-A)
• Insect control methods in the first 70 years of the 20th century
were based largely on chemical insecticides and it has unsolved
resistance and environmental problem
• IMR conducted trial phase study since 2019
• Radiation process done at Malaysian Nuclear Agency

STRATIFICATION OF DENGUE LOCALITY
➢Priority localities (lokaliti keutamaan): 4 categories
❖Priority 1 : uncontrolled outbreak/ hotspots in previous year
❖Priority 2 : controlled outbreak in previous year
❖Priority 3 : 1 case in previous year
❖Priority 4 : no case reported in previous year
