Dengue Epidemic Control in Malaysia- Barrier in Engineering Regulation

Abstract

Dengue fever is one of the most arthropod-borne diseases in Malaysia, and also one of the most difficult to treat once infected. Due to rapid population growth, Dengue mosquitoes have become a significant threat to public health in Malaysia. However, preventive measures against the dengue fever epidemic need to be implemented right away. In Malaysia, particularly in its cities and semi-urban areas, both tropical and subtropical influences are evident. When an infected Aedes aegypti mosquito bites a human host, especially if the mosquito has just fed on an infected person, it can spread dengue fever. The dengue virus cannot spread from person to person. The only way to get the disease is to get bitten by a mosquito that already carries. The increasing dengue epidemic in Malaysia is the key area that needs study since it necessitates a focused approach to engineering control, in particular, the improvement of the product's capacity to avert future outbreaks of the disease. This presents a challenge for the researcher, as they need to move to investigate potential engineering solutions. The study's primary focus is on the exponential growth of Aedes mosquito populations because of human intervention and understanding on dengue epidemic Through an Integrated Study of Dengue Prevention and Engineering Control Approach for Aedes Mosquitoes Breeding, this research to find a way to stop the spread of dengue virus, which is spread when an infected Aedes mosquito bites a human and transmits the disease in areas where dengue mosquitoes breed, commonly in Selangor, Malaysia. Furthermore, the phenomena of Aedes breeding grounds can be eliminated with the right strategy and engineering solutions for controlling Aedes mosquitoes. More than 88% of respondents said they had taken some kind of precaution against mosquito bites. Methods that focus on social engagement and communication to influence community members' habits receive more attention.
