The need for active and integrated involvement of the community and health professionals in the prevention and control of dengue hemorrhagic fever in Indonesia.

Successful control and prevention of dengue fever requires active involvement from all parties. For this reason, three innovative programs are needed, namely: i) increasing knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of the community and health professionals as capital in controlling dengue fever in a sustainable manner; ii) application of "3M Plus" to suppress vector breeding in household settings; iii) promotion of the "Jumantik" program as an effective community empowerment approach to prevent and control dengue fever based on community independence. It was concluded that successful control of dengue fever requires integration of the community and health workers through various innovative programs.

Climate and visitors as the influencing factors of dengue fever in Badung District of Bali, Indonesia.

Badung district has recorded the highest dengue fever (DF) in Bali Province. This research presents the distribution of DF in Badung district and analyses its association with climate and visitors. The monthly data of DF, climate and number of visitors during January 2013 to December 2017 were analysed using Poisson Regression. A total of 10,689 new DF cases were notified from January 2013 to December 2017. DF in 2016 was recorded as the heaviest incidence. Monthly DF cases have positive association with average temperature (0.59 (95% CI: 0.56-.62)), precipitation (5.7 x 10-4 (95% CI: 3.8 x 10-4 - 7.6 x 10-4)), humidity (.014 (95% CI: 0.003-.025)) and local visitors (7.40 x 10-6 95% CI: 5.88 x 10-6 : 8.91 x 10-6). Negative association was shown between DF cases with foreign visitors (-2.18 x 10-6 (95% CI: -2.50 x 10-6 : -1.87 x 10-6)). This study underlines the urgency to integrate climate and tourism for DF surveillance.
