2. Dengue fever has become the most important mosquito-borne viral disease
affecting humans in nearly 100 tropical countries. The global distribution of
vector mosquitoes and viruses is comparable to that of malaria.
An estimated 2.5 billion people are currently living in areas at risk of
localized and widespread epidemics.
In view of the persistence of dengue in Malaysia and the countries of the
Asia and Pacific Region, MAEH in its capacity as Chairman of the
International Federation of Environmental Health (IFEH) Asia and the Pacific
Regional Group, in partnership with PETRONAS University of Technology
(UTP) advocates an integrated and systematic approach to address this
problem.
The aim of this conference is to bring together the collective experiences of
operational and field research personnel and formulate innovative strategies
and best practices for a sustainable approach towards the prevention and
control of dengue. Through this approach the global distribution of both
vector mosquitoes and the viruses can be controlled to a level which will
reduce the risk of cross introduction between countries in this region and
elsewhere.
