Dr Abu Bakar reminded the audience at the Dengue 360 Conference of the importance of stakeholders being involved in combating dengue.

WORLDWIDE, 2.5 billion people are at risk of contracting mosquito-borne diseases, while 400 million are infected annually.

In Malaysia, cases of dengue and Zika have been rising steadily and the first three months of 2017 alone, we have recorded more than 22,000 mosquito-related illnesses and 50 deaths caused by the airborne pest.
