  • Title: A program for prevention and control of epidemic dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
    Author: Gubler DJ, Casta-Valez A.
    Journal: Bull Pan Am Health Organ; 1991; 25(3):237-47. PubMed ID: 1742570.
    Abstract:
    The ongoing resurgence of Aedes aegypti in the Americas--abetted by poor mosquito control, urbanization, and increased air travel--has led to dengue hyperendemicity, more frequent dengue epidemics, and the emergence of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). This article describes a program developed to cope with this situation that emphasizes disease prevention rather than general mosquito control measures.
