Arm 2
Experimental
No Intervention
GOS trap and dengue NS1 antigen kit
Control
Gravid Oviposition Sticky (GOS) traps will be placed to trap adult Aedes mosquitoes and changed weekly. NS1 will be used to detect dengue in trapped Aedes mosquitoes. When dengue NS1 positive mosquitoes are found, community will be alerted via flyers, banners and other means. Routine Aedes/dengue control and surveillance will be carried out as usual as per the current Ministry of Health guidelines.
The GOS traps will be placed randomly in the control arm once per month for entomological survey. Routine Aedes control and surveillance will be carried out as per the current Ministry of Health guidelines. Dengue control measure will be initiated by the health authorities when human cases are reported from this arm.
