An intensive Communication for Behavioural Impact programme that ensures accurate and timely information for the public should be implemented concurrently with vector control activities in order to engage the community in practices that reduce dengue transmission.
For dengue prevention and control needs to be tailored to the various populations at risk and delivered in a culturally appropriate way.
This must be in a language understood by the majority of the troops and their families, to ensure uptake and sustainability.
Primary prevention is thus the most effective measure in dengue prevention and control since no vaccine is currently available.
