In the absence of an effective vaccine that protects humans from dengue, limiting contact between people and vectors is the most effective way to prevent dengue infections. Environmental management approaches involve eliminating the container habitats in which Aedes aegypti lay their eggs. Chemical control involves the use of insecticides to kill immature or adult mosquitoes. New chemical, biological, and genetic approaches are being developed and may provide promising alternatives to control mosquito populations and prevent dengue infections.
