Proactive
Surveillance: Goals and Objectives
- Provide early and
precise information
- time
- location
- virus serotype
- disease severity
- Predict dengue
transmission and guide implementation of control measures
- Link clinical and
entomologic surveillance
| The objective of a proactive dengue surveillance system is
to provide early and precise information on four key aspects
of disease activity: time, location, virus serotype, and disease
severity. Analysis of this information provides the necessary
data to predict dengue transmission and guide the implementation
of control measures well in advance of peak dengue transmission.
Proactive clinical surveillance must be linked with entomologic
surveillance, in order to identify the time and place of transmission. |
