| dc.description.abstract | Vector-borne diseases are considered important diseases and have greatly impact on the health of humans and animals as well. It was first described in 1877 when lymphatic filariasis was found to be transmitted by mosquitoes from human to human. Malaysia lies in a tropical zone, and often invaded by various vector borne diseases especially mosquitoes which are capable of transmitting diseases like malaria, dengue, filariasis, and Japanese encaphalitis. Vector borne diseases like malaria, filariasis, and dengue are still responsible for the high incidence of morbidity and mortality in many tropical countries, including Malaysia. Therefore, the vector-borne diseases caused by mosquitoes remain as the main focus of research and environmental management in Malaysia especially in Tampin Hospital where high numbers of malaria and dengue are reported each year. In this study, the data collected from 2012 until 2014 shows the high prevalence numbers of dengue infections within the regions of Tampin. About 199 patients were detected as being dengue-infected from year 2012 until 2014. The confirmation of dengue virus serotype was finalized by patients' clinical history and dengue serology test. From the molecular study, the results showed that 73 patients, only 21 patients in 2012, 31 patients in 2013 and 21 patients in 2014 were positive with DENV 4. were infected with dengue virus serotype 4 (DENV 4), according to the mukim in Tampin, Negeri Sembilan. The absence of serotype DENV 1, DENV 2 and DENV 3 is unexpected which is due to the viability of the virus and the quality of the sample were affected by factors such as time, storage and transportation factors. | en_US |
