Queensland Health's 'Defend against Dengue' television, radio and print media campaign aims to prevent the spread of dengue fever in North Queensland.
The campaign warns that dengue is a serious health problem, and provides tips on protecting yourself and stopping the dengue mosquito from breeding.
Two television advertisements (30 /dengue/video/household.wmv seconds) feature a series of road signs warning that dengue fever is serious. The 'defend yourself against dengue' shows that wearing repellent and light coloured clothing, and spraying surface insect spray help to protect against dengue fever. The second TV ad shows ways to prevent dengue mozzies from breeding.
