Abstract:
This work is part of a larger study that aims to build a low-cost, geographically-enhanced dengue data management system for use by local health authorities. The system will collate data from a range of sources and produce regular reports and maps showing cases, vectors and predicted dengue clusters. Local health authorities can use these outputs to better target dengue control activities, including community education, removal of breeding sites, preventive fogging and improved waste and water management.
