摘要

台灣地區近年來由於都市化的結果，形成許多有利於登革熱病媒孳生繁殖之環境，埃及斑蚊之蜜度，逐季遞升，當民國76年境外輸入典型登革熱病毒時，遂告成傳播，報告病例1,123人，確定408人，77年更爆發流行，報告病例達10,420人，確定1,938人78年改病媒孳生源清除之環境管理方法替代殺蟲劑噴灑防治，使病媒埃及斑蚊密度急遽下降，本土病例驟減爲594人，確定16人；至79年再無本土病例發生，因而得以完全控制。
病媒孳生源之清除，包括推動全民之清除舊甕、破罐等積水容器；輔導居民將挿花水瓶、水盤定期換水，電冰箱下盛水皿之清理；建築工地、公寓大廈地下室游水之清除；廢輪胎之收集清除與管理；以及飲用水貯水容器之飼養食蚊魚等，動員二百萬人次，清理二百多萬家戶。

An epidemic of dengue occurred in southern Taiwan in 1987, and by the end of 1988 there were 10,420 reported eases, of which 60.5% were from Kaohsiung Municipality. The urbanization and industrialization of the municipality have resulted in a vast increase in the breeding habitats of the dengue vector, Aedes aegypti. In the early stage of the epidemic, only space spraying with insecticides was undertaken, but the Aedes density gradually increased and reached its peak in the third quarter of 1988. Through a great effort in the promotion of extensive and systematic community-based source reduction started in December 1988, the Aedes density and number of dengue eases dropped significantly. Excellent results were thus achieved and no more indigenous cases occurred in 1990.
