| Impact statement: Dengue fever poses a major public health issue in tropical and subtropical areas, with Bangladesh facing a significant rise in dengue cases during the 2023 outbreak. There are barriers like persistent misconceptions (e.g., breeding of Aedes in dirty water), insecticide resistance, limited and fragmented financing, and weak intersectoral coordination that need to be addressed for good health and wellbeing. | Collaboration: Other | Keywords: Dengue prevention strategies, Vector control, Integrated surveillance, Integrated vector management, Sustainable dengue control |
