Vectors of Dengue Fever
• Aedes aegypti Aedes aegypti is not found in Hong Kong
at present.• Aedes albopictus
Aedes albopictus is very common in Hong Kong.
![Page 9: 1. 2 What is it? Mode of transmission Symptoms and treatment Prevention Dengue Fever.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/551660095503469d698b5103/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Vector
Aedes albopictus
The life cycle of a vector mosquito is dividedinto the 4 stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult
![Page 10: 1. 2 What is it? Mode of transmission Symptoms and treatment Prevention Dengue Fever.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/551660095503469d698b5103/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
Habitual Behaviour of Aedes Albopictus (1)
• Usually breed in stagnant water
• Usually active in dark or shaded places outdoors, but indoor activity is also possible
![Page 11: 1. 2 What is it? Mode of transmission Symptoms and treatment Prevention Dengue Fever.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/551660095503469d698b5103/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
Habitual Behaviour of Aedes Albopictus (2)
• Female mosquitoes feed on human blood.
• They are most active 2 hours before sunset (around 5pm to 6pm) and at around 8am to 9am.
• Where do they sting?
Outdoors and indoors.
![Page 12: 1. 2 What is it? Mode of transmission Symptoms and treatment Prevention Dengue Fever.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/551660095503469d698b5103/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Mode of Transmission
• A healthy person gets the disease when he is bitten by an infected mosquito. The virus enters his blood from the mosquito’s saliva.
• An infected person could transmit the virus to mosquitoes if he is bitten by a mosquito anytime from the onset to the subsidence of the fever (a period of about 6 to 7 days). The disease is then spread by mosquitoes.
• Dengue fever is not spread by contact with infected persons.
![Page 13: 1. 2 What is it? Mode of transmission Symptoms and treatment Prevention Dengue Fever.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/551660095503469d698b5103/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

15
Symptoms of Classical Dengue (1)
• Fever: continuous for 3 to 5 days
• Severe headache
• Painful limbs, joint pain, muscle pain, back pain, pain behind eyeballs
![Page 16: 1. 2 What is it? Mode of transmission Symptoms and treatment Prevention Dengue Fever.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/551660095503469d698b5103/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Symptoms of Classical Dengue (2)
•Rash appears on the 3rd to 4th day after onset. •Nausea, vomiting.•Slight gum bleeding and nasal bleeding.•Extreme fatigue and depression may follow recovery.• In very rare cases, the condition may worsen
into dengue haemorrhagic fever, leading to haemorrhage, shock or even death.
![Page 17: 1. 2 What is it? Mode of transmission Symptoms and treatment Prevention Dengue Fever.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/551660095503469d698b5103/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
Treatment (1)• At present, there is no drug that
can treat dengue fever effectively. Patients infected with classical dengue usually recovers in 1 to 2 weeks.
• For serious cases, supportive treatments are provided by hospitals.
• If you suspect that you have dengue fever, you should seek medical treatment promptly.
![Page 18: 1. 2 What is it? Mode of transmission Symptoms and treatment Prevention Dengue Fever.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/551660095503469d698b5103/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Treatment (2)• Wiping the body with warm
water and proper use of anti-fever drugs that can relieve the fever.
• Don’t take aspirin-containing drugs because they worsen the haemorrhage.
![Page 19: 1. 2 What is it? Mode of transmission Symptoms and treatment Prevention Dengue Fever.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/551660095503469d698b5103/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Protect Yourself against Dengue Fever
As yet, there is no effective vaccine against dengue fever. Therefore, the best prevention is to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes by paying attention to the following:
•Avoid staying in dark, outdoor places such as brushwood, pavilions or the shade of a tree during the hours when Aedes albopictus is active.
![Page 20: 1. 2 What is it? Mode of transmission Symptoms and treatment Prevention Dengue Fever.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/551660095503469d698b5103/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Control the Spread of Dengue Fever
Prevent the patient from being bitten by mosquitoes.
![Page 21: 1. 2 What is it? Mode of transmission Symptoms and treatment Prevention Dengue Fever.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/551660095503469d698b5103/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Prevention of Mosquito Bites
Avoid going out in the hours when Aedes albopictus feed or wear light-coloured, long-sleeved clothing and trousers.
![Page 22: 1. 2 What is it? Mode of transmission Symptoms and treatment Prevention Dengue Fever.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062619/551660095503469d698b5103/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
