Abstract
Dengue disease surveillance: improving data for dengue control.
Highlights
Anticipation of the licensure of a dengue vaccine has brought new urgency to the need to establish and improve dengue disease surveillance programmes—these needs were described by the World Health Organization’s Scientific Working Group in 2005 (WHO/TDR) [7]
Entomological surveillance can provide a partial estimate of exposure or risk, and future dengue prevention programmes will require an integrated approach combining vaccine deployment, vector control, good clinical management, therapeutics, and community involvement
The Partnership for Dengue Control (PDC), a new public health initiative hosted by the Fondation Merieux, grew out of the Sanofi Pasteur v2V programme to facilitate the introduction of dengue vaccines into endemic countries, with a new mission to ‘‘promote development and implementation of innovative, integrated, synergistic approaches for the prevention and control of dengue’’
