The latest edition of the Guidelines for Dengue Diagnosis, Treatment, Prevention and Control produced by TDR and the WHO have been made widely available to health practitioners, laboratory personnel, those involved in vector control and other public health officials. The attached guidelines (see left) are a concise source of information of worldwide relevance on dengue.

This second version is an update from the second edition published in 1997 and in the past 15 years, the magnitude of the dengue problem has increased dramatically and has extended geographically to many previously unaffected areas.
