How to Prevent Dengue in School
A very good morning to the Principal, Senior Assistant One, Senior Assistant of Students Affair, Senior Assistant of Co-curriculum, teachers and students on the floor. I feel greatly honoured and privileged to stand here before you to give a talk. As a Health Officer from The Ministry of Health, I have been invited by the Parent-Teacher Association of PTA of this school to give a speech to all of you about “How to prevent dengue in school”.

Many of us are very afraid of this deadly disease. Actually this disease occurred because of out bad habits. We throw rubbish everywhere we want, let out environment dirty and many more. This disease is not a mosquito’s fault. It is our fault. So, today I will tell all of you how to prevent this fearful and deadly disease in school.

First, the students must clean up the school compound. The cleaning must be done everyday to demolish the entire mosquitoes’ habitats. The mosquitoes usually sting people in the morning and evening. So, students do not need an exercise in the morning. They just have to divide in groups and start the cleaning operations immediately. The teachers have to keep an eye on the students to avoid them from playing truant fro these cleaning operations.

Teachers also play an enormous role in this disease prevention. They need to create awareness through exhibitions such as “Meet The Aedes”, “Know About Mosquitoes” and “Dengue The Deadly Disease” must be held at schools. Through these exhibitions, students will be exposed about dengue. Teachers also must send students to anti dengue seminars. During these seminars, students will be thought about how to prevent dengue fever in school. Thus, the dengue fever cases in school will be reduced.

Parents are also very important people in these dengue preventions. They have to come to the school when there is anti-dengue campaign. They have to teach their children about dengue fever and encourage them to be clean anytime, and anywhere. They also must support

    The West Nile Virus has helped NYC prepare for Zika by using similar techniques that have been successful in the past. Based on past experiences, we have learned that it is best to have good cooperation among the people of the department because it allows them to easily convey the risks of mosquitoes to the uneducated people. They are also able to educate us on the different types of mosquitoes and the harm that comes with them. For example, based on the study of the West Nile Virus, they learned that these mosquitoes carry Culex with them and that they can tolerate being trapped with carbon dioxide and light. However, Aedes albopictus (zika mosquitoes) aren't tricked by this because they mostly attack in the day. This past study of the virus…

This qualitative study identifies the opinions of researchers about the dengue vaccine, supported with various facts on the development of the disease dengue fever, one of the mosquito-borne diseases and identifies other research methods being done by organizations such as the, World Health Organization (WHO). This journal has additionally informs experts on the specific field on the newest and most detailed information regarding the development of dengue vaccine and the genetics information the virus contains, supported with researchers opinion regarding the development which also contains the threat it poses if left untreated. The conclusions were that there are still unanswered questions regarding whether or not an effective and safe vaccine for the disease, dengue fever. The current development in vaccine is already funded, though limited, due to four different types of serotypes a virus may contain; a vaccine has to work against all four serotypes. Both authors, Scott B Halstead and Jacqueline Deen, is both equipped with the necessary knowledge to write a perfectly reliable text such as this journal as they are both conducting their own practice regarding the mosquito-borne disease, dengue fever. The paper provides detailed scientific facts in organized forms, obtained by the Department of Preventive Medicine, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, MD, and Pediatric Dengue Vaccine Initative, International Vaccine Institute.

    Dengue fever, a very old disease, has reemerged in the past 20 years with an expanded geographic distribution of both the viruses and the mosquito vectors, increased epidemic activity, the development of hyperendemicity (the co circulation of multiple serotypes), and the emergence of dengue hemorrhagic fever in new geographic regions. In 1998 this mosquito-borne disease is the most important tropical infectious disease after malaria, with an estimated 100 million cases of dengue fever, 500,000 cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever, and 25,000 deaths annually. The reasons for this resurgence and emergence of dengue hemorrhagic fever in the waning years of the 20th century are complex and not fully understood, but demographic, societal, and public health infrastructure changes in the past 30 years have contributed greatly. This paper reviews the changing epidemiology of dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever by geographic region, the natural history and transmission cycles, clinical diagnosis of both dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever, serologic and virologic laboratory diagnoses, pathogenesis, surveillance, prevention, and control. A major challenge for public health officials in all tropical areas of the world is to develop and implement sustainable prevention and control programs that will reverse the trend of emergent dengue hemorrhagic fever.…
