Advancing Dengue Virus Detection in Aedes Larvae: An Alternative Approach for Dengue Active Surveillance

Abstract

Guan Howard

Dengue fever remains a significant public health concern in many parts of the world, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. Traditional methods of dengue surveillance primarily focus on monitoring human cases, which often results in delayed responses to outbreaks. This literature review explores the potential of utilizing Aedes larvae as an alternative means for dengue virus detection, providing insights into the development of effective strategies for dengue active surveillance. Through an analysis of existing research, this article highlights the advantages, challenges, and future prospects of this approach.
