 ABSTRACT

Dengue is one of the most important mosquito-borne diseases which can cause
a major problem to human health. Poor practices in dengue prevention,
especially in the area where dengue is prevalent, are among the factors
contributing towards dengue spike. This study was commenced to the
Awareness of the Grade 8 Learners on What to Do In Cases of Dengue
Outbreak towards dengue prevention among the community residing in a
dengue prone area. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 128
respondents living in a dengue hot spot area. A set of questionnaire forms for
the survey, socioenvironmental characteristics around the house, and attitudes
and practices toward dengue prevention were distributed to respondents.
Results: More than half of the respondents possessed a good level of attitude,
and more than half scored moderately for practice (57% respectively). Data on
the environmental characteristics showed that the majority of the respondent’s
houses have potential breeding sites for Aedes mosquito. Findings also indicate
that there was no significant association between dengue prevention practices
and socio-demographic factors such as age and gender, the level of practice of
dengue prevention is still considerably low and could be improved through
educational seminar/program. Proper knowledge and information regarding
dengue practices should be emphasized among the community especially in a
high-risk area to raise up awareness and cultivate better practices for dengue
prevention.
Wolbachia is an endosymbiotic bacterium that infects insects. It has been
artificially transferred into Aedes aegypti, a mosquito species that transmits
medical viruses including dengue, chikungunya, and Zika.
