A study on community's perceptions of fogging as a means to control dengue infection in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia.

Abstract

Dengue fever has become amongst the most pertinent infectious diseases in the world and it is getting more relevant in the current global development (Huntington et al, 2016; Bhatt et al., 2013). Unlike other neglected tropical diseases, dengue fever has found a resurgence during the past decades in both developed and developing countries (Suwandono et al., 2006; Karyanti et al., 2014), particularly due to changes in urban lifestyles, the rate of international travels, and the shift of focus in governments’ health policy from infectious diseases to non-communicable diseases (Gubler, 2014).
