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:
-
Ongoing Prevention: where there is no current dengue activity in the zone
-
Response to Sporadic Cases: where there is no current dengue activity in the zone, but the Tropical Population Health Network is notified of an imported case of dengue or a possible locally-acquired case
-
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.
