Consultants from A.I.D.'s Vector Biology Control Project helped USAID/Santo Domingo have developed a contingency plan for emergency control of dengue outbreaks in the Dominican Republic. Dengue fever, an acute febrile illness caused by four serotypes of the mosquito-borne dengue virus, is endemic in the Caribbean region. Dengue epidemics have occurred in the Caribbean with increasing frequency over the past 25 years and sporadic cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome (DHF/DSS), a severe form of the disease, have been documented in several countries in the region. During an epidemic in Cuba in 1981, more than 100,000 people suffering from DHF/DSS were hospitalized over a five-month period. Dengue surveillance, which has begun recently in the Dominican Republic, indicates considerable dengue transmission and the circulation of at least three dengue serotypes. This circulation of multiple serotypes, combined with the presence of large populations of Aedes aegypti, a mosquito that transmits dengue, pose a serious threat of continued outbreaks and the emergence of DHF/DSS in the Dominican Republic. The contingency plan describes the medical emergency requirements a

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
