Dengue management plan

The Dengue Fever Management Plan (DFMP) (902kb) has been developed by Queensland Health to guide and co-ordinate 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 Population Health 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.
