摘要

Dengue is a febrile disease caused by a member of the Flaviviridae family called dengue virus (DENV). DENV is primarily transmitted to humans by blood ingestion of Aedes (Ae.) aegypti[1,2]. Space spraying is a vector control measure recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for eliminating vector mosquitos and preventing further infections in an epidemic setting[3].
