First dengue virus seroprevalence study on Madeira Island after the 2012 outbreak indicates unreported dengue circulation

BACKGROUND: In 2012, the first dengue virus outbreak was reported on the Portuguese island of Madeira with 1080 confirmed cases. Dengue virus of serotype 1 (DENV-1), probably imported from Venezuela, caused this outbreak with autochthonous transmission by invasive Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. RESULTS: We investigated the seroprevalence among the population on Madeira Island four years after […]

Climate change and mosquito-borne disease

  • Autores: Nazareth T, Seixas G, Sousa CA

Ecology, development, behaviour, and survival of mosquitoes as well as the transmission dynamic of pathogens, strongly depend on climatic factors. Models have been developed to predict forthcoming mosquito-borne diseases scenarios based on estimations of future climate patterns. However, the complex interplay of climate variables with the mosquito-host-pathogen systems rend the overall effect of the climate […]

Impact of a Dengue Outbreak Experience in the Preventive Perceptions of the Community from a Temperate Region: Madeira Island, Portugal

The ability to effectively modify behaviours is increasingly relevant to attain and maintain a good health status. Current behaviour-change models and theories present two main approaches for (healthier) decision-making: one analytical/logical, and one experiential/emotional/intuitive. Therefore, to achieve an integral and dynamic understanding of the public perceptions both approaches should be considered: community surveys should measure […]

Angola’s 2013 dengue outbreak: clinical, laboratory and molecular analyses of cases from four Portuguese institutions

  • Autores: Abreu C, Antunes A, Atouguia J, Azevedo T, Centeno-Lima S, Conceição C, Mansinho K, Marques N, Moneti V, Nazareth T, Nina J, Parreira R, Sa L, Saraiva da Cunha J, Sarmento A, Seixas J, Teodósio R

Dengue virus (DENV) is the arbovirus with the widest impact on human health. In Africa in general, and in Angola in particular, the epidemiology and public health impact of DENV is far from clear. However, rapid population growth, unplanned urbanization, increased international travel, and the presence of virus major vector (Aedes aegypti) in the country suggest that DENV transmission may occur.

Strengthening the perception-assessment tools for dengue prevention: a cross-sectional survey in a temperate region (Madeira, Portugal)

  • Autores: Gonçalves L, Nazareth T, Porto G, Seixas G, Silva AC, Sousa CA, Teodósio R
  • Ano de Publicação: 2014
  • Journal: BMC Public Health
  • Link: http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2458/14/39

Community participation is mandatory in the prevention of Dengue outbreaks. Taking public views into account is crucial to guide more effective planning and quicker community participation in preventing campaigns. This study aims to assess community perceptions of Madeira population in order to explore their involvement in the A. aegypti’s control and reinforce health-educational planning.
