Field works for Project Dengue have been concluded on November 30, 2010. The field activities consist of distribution of larva affecting materials, an extensive outreach effort, collection of data and a number of independent researches to cross-verify results including collection of blood samples from 1 to 10 years old children to determine whether transmission of dengue virus occur during the study periods.

Project Dengue intends to test the hypothesis that target source reduction is effective to control the population of dengue bearing mosquitoes as compared to the commonly practiced non-specific source control. The approach is expected to encourage people to be more willing to take charge of control efforts in their neighborhood and to forego usual reliance on government interventions.

Results of the study show that while the method effectively controls pupae, it does not show significant impact on adult population of the Aedes aegypti mosquitoes nor the in transmission of the dengue virus as shown through extensive serology surveys and the case data in the City during the study period. Complete results and lessons learned will be published in prominent scientific journals and relevant media.
