摘要

關於埃及斑蚊及白線斑蚊的調查、研究及防治，新加坡已建立了一個完善的系統。
登革熱病媒的防治完全由環境部的環境公共衛生組統籌管理。防治斑蚊的對策是綜合性的工作、包括病例發現、孳生源清除、衛生教育及法律執行。這些工作由下列單位執行：檢疫及流行病組（登革熱調查及研究），病媒及研究組（斑蚊調查，防治及研究），環衛生組（環境清潔及衛生），及公共教育組（登革熱預防及控制的衛生教育）。雖然埃及斑蚊的住家指數已降低至1%，但過去五年來登革熱及出血性拿革熱的病例仍直線升。環境部認爲登革熱侷地方爲基礎的防治是不夠的，環境流行病研究所與國際其他機構已開始進行了合作研究及訓練計畫。

Singapore has a well-established system for the surveillance, research and control of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Control of these vectors comes under the jurisdiction of the Environmental Public Health Division of the Ministry of the Environment. The strategy for Aedes control is an integrated approach incorporating case detection, source reduction, health education and law enforcement. This is done through the Quarantine & Epidemiology Department (dengue surveillance and research), Vector Control & Research Department (Aedes surveillance, control and research), Environmental Health Department (environmental sanitation and hygiene) and Public Education Department (health education on dengue prevention and control). Despite its success in reducing the Aedes population to a house index of around 1%, the incidence of dengue fever/dengue haemorrhagic fever has increased sharply during the last 5 years. The Ministry realises that the dengue problem can only be tackled on a regional basis and it is with this objective in mind that the Institute of Environmental Epidemiology has been formed to collaborate with other international agencies in operational research and training projects.
