Disposal of dengue fever outbreak epidemic using a negative detection case-control study

Abstract

Abstract
This study employs a negative detection case-control design to analyze the disposal and control measures of a dengue fever outbreak. By comparing confirmed dengue cases with matched controls who tested negative, the investigation identifies key factors associated with infection risk and evaluates the effectiveness of outbreak response strategies. Data on environmental conditions, vector control interventions, and community behaviors were collected and analyzed. Results indicate that timely vector control, public health education, and environmental management significantly contributed to the containment of the outbreak. The case-control approach proved valuable in differentiating exposure risks and guiding targeted prevention efforts. This study offers practical insights for improving dengue fever outbreak disposal and highlights the importance of integrated surveillance and response systems.
