Filter by:Effective control of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in breeding sites with high reproductive rates could have a major impact on reducing arbovirosis in endemic communities. The application of a safe, effective, low cost and sustained insecticide coating (IC) could be an affordable response to dengue for local health services. Therefore, a cluster randomised trial for the application of a new vector control tool (insecticidal coating of water containers) was conducted in the metropolitan area of Cúcuta, Colombia. The IC is an aqueous solution containing polymeric microcapsules of insecticides and insect growth regulators (pyriproxyfen-PPF (0.063%) and alphacypermertrin-ACM (0.07%) in suspension, without interaction between them, development by INESFLY®, Spain. The main questions it aims to answer are: Whether the control of the main breeding sites of Aedes mosquitoes, through the application of insecticide coating, in clusters of dwellings, could reduce dengue transmission in a sustainable way, compared to untreated clusters, in Cúcuta, Colombia. Whether the control of the main breeding sites of Aedes mosquitoes through the application of insecticide coating, in clusters of dwellings, could reduce the Aedes Indices in a sustainable way, compared to untreated clusters. The initial preparation phases: i) socialization ii) A safety evaluation to determine the health risks of IC in domestic water containers; iii) The determination of the effects and efficacy of IC on Aedes aegypti. The Baseline study to characterise the study clusters from entomological, epidemiological and socio-economic approaches was carried out in 2019-2020. The IC application phase in the intervention arm was carried out between Nov-2021 and Jan-2022, with the respective monitoring of the safety of IC use. This was followed by entomological monitoring. Finally, the 9-month post-intervention evaluation. Epidemiological data were obtained from the National Public Health Surveillance System - SIVIGILA. The study was conducted in 20 clusters of 2000 dwellings each, where 10 clusters were randomly assigned to the control arm and 10 clusters to the intervention arm. In order to determine the effect of IC application in household tanks, the dengue incidence and entomological indices are compared in the study clusters. The data are analysed under the difference in difference approach. Additionally, the acceptance of IC in the intervened communities and local health services is determined.
The differential and systematic diagnosis of malaria, dengue and chikungunya in patients with fever (≥38.5°C) of undetermined etiology would allow the identification of infection by these pathogens and thus limit the inappropriate use of antibiotics (discontinuation or non-initiation) and optimize the clinical management and prognosis of patients.
This will be a placebo-controlled, multicenter-randomized prospective study of CPLE (Carica papaya leaf extract) tabs in dengue patients (WHO-Group A, B). The study will enroll 300 eligible dengue cases into two arms: one arm receiving CPLE 1000mg t.i.d for 5 days and the other group receiving a placebo. The main question to ask is whether CPLE reduces severe disease progression and increases platelet counts in dengue patients. The participant will be asked to take orally available CPLE capsules at a dose of 1000 mg (2 capsules, 500mg each) or identical placebo three times a day for 5 days
This retrospective observational study aims to determine the probability of the risk of dengue transmission through a model based on epidemiological, entomological, socioeconomic, demographic, and landscape variables in the El Vergel neighborhood in the municipality of Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico. The main question it aims to answer is: 1. Is it possible to identify the risk determinants of dengue transmission by developing a probabilistic model based on the landscape analysis of epidemiological, entomological, sociodemographic, and landscape variables in an endemic urban area of the municipality of Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico? Participants will be selected from a registry obtained from the Secretary of Health of cases of dengue fever, which will be contrasted with the entomological, socioeconomic, demographic, and landscape variables in the El Vergel neighborhood in Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico. They will be not contacted or sampled for biologic testing in any shape or form, only the data already collected from the health services will be used.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of a dengue self-monitoring system with standard care in reducing treatment delay among dengue patients receiving outpatient care. The main question it aims to answer are: • Is a dengue self-monitoring system effective in reducing treatment delay in dengue patients? Participants will use the dengue monitoring system in addition to the standard care they are receiving for outpatient follow up for dengue. Researchers will compare them with dengue patients receiving the usual standard care to see if the dengue monitoring system reduces delay in treatment seeking in patients.
RT-PCR and virus isolation are considered gold standard for diagnosis of Dengue from blood during first few days of infection. Serological methods such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), confirms the presence of a recent or past infection with detection of NS1 antigen and anti-dengue antibodies. However, these methods are time-consuming and need significant laboratory infrastructure, including instrumentation, trained personnel and refrigeration for reagents. Hence, in areas where DENV is endemic, have limited resources and inadequate laboratory capacity to perform these tests, rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) can be used for quick and simple screening. Recently various RDTs which detect Antigen (NS1) and Antibodies (IgM and IgG) in single format are widely available and in use, but the performance data are not available or not consistent from one study to another. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of different RDTs that detect antigens and antibodies to Dengue viruses in one cassette during acute febrile stage thereby helping healthcare providers to decide on the best test.
This study will assess the effect of an educational nursing intervention in adults to promote dengue control and prevention behaviors, in comparison with the usual strategy of a health service provider institution. The intervention uses the Nola Pender Health Promotion Model as a theoretical framework. Findings will be assessed using the nursing outcomes "risk control" and "participation in health care decisions" from the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC).
Dengue can be mitigated by both vector control and vaccination. Serious games in healthcare can be used to raise the community awareness of vector control in dengue prevention in a simulated interactive learning environment, by motivating serious game participants to optimise their own performance and influence their behaviour. The results show a specially designed serious game can better engage local residents by raising their awareness in vector control and proactiveness in dengue prevention. At least 8 out of 10 participants were willing to be vaccinated against dengue if they knew of the availability of a safe and effective vaccine.
The purpose of this research study is to test a weakened form of an experimental dengue virus challenge at different doses to test if participants develop symptoms or circulating virus in the blood (called viremia). When volunteers are exposed to dengue on purpose, it is called a "challenge" or Dengue Human Infection Model (DHIM). The research team is collecting information about the safety of the challenge and the best dose to use. The information may help us to make a dengue challenge (a DHIM) that will test vaccines to protect people from dengue.
Symptomatic dengue virus infection in pregnant women could affect the mother, fetus and the newborn at birth. The risks of postpartum hemorrhage, prematurity and low birth weight are increased in dengue fever. Cases of vertical transmission have been described. This study therefore proposes to quantify these risks in a pregnant woman presenting a clinical picture of dengue fever through a prospective, longitudinal and comparative study.
