A dengue outbreak has been underway in Timor Leste (East Timor) since the start of January 2005, with hundreds of cases and multiple deaths from dengue haemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome reported by the Ministry of Health (MOH) Timor Leste.
Two officers from the Medical Entomology Branch (MEB) of the Centre for Disease Control (CDC) of DHCS in Darwin travelled to Dili from 13/04/05 to 15/04/05 to conduct a brief survey of dengue control activities and have discussions with key personnel in the Ministry of Health Timor Leste. This draft report summarises the findings of the survey and makes recommendations on dengue vector control. This draft is to be submitted to AusAID, and via them to the MOH Timor Leste, for any comment and suggestions for corrections.
