Dengue Fever Management Plan



The Dengue Fever Management Plan (DFMP) (902kb) has been developed by Queensland Health to guide and coordinate the management of dengue fever by local and state government in north Queensland. If you have difficulty downloading the full document, download a section at a time -
Section A | Section B | Section C

The DFMP focuses on three central components of dengue management:

Dengue control activities can differ according to the level of dengue activity in north Queensland. There are three levels of dengue activity: 

  1. Ongoing Prevention: where there is no current dengue activity in the zone
  2. Response to Sporadic Cases: where there is no current dengue activity in the zone, but the Tropical Regional Services Network is notified of an imported case of dengue or a possible locally-acquired case
  3. Outbreak Response: where one or more locally-acquired cases occurs concurrently in the zone.

The DFMP also outlines ongoing research into dengue transmission and control.
