Madeira Dengue Fever outbreak update - 14 February 2013

Source: ECDC - 14 Feb. 2013
The latest figures from the Portuguese Ministry of Health indicate an important decrease of the number of notified cases reported since mid-November 2012, week 46 (see the 'Situação em 03/02/2013' update on the Dengue fever page of the Direção-Geral da Saúde website) - as reported in previos post on this blog. However, the outbreak is still on-going with 28 cases reported in 2013 and three cases last week recorded by the local epidemiological surveillance system. This is indicative of an uninterrupted transmission occurring since the start of the outbreak and continuous vector activity. In addition, based on retrospective information on vector surveillance and meteorological data, the seasonal increase of vector activities will likely take place from around May-June 2013.
 ECDC advises residents and travellers visiting the island of Madeira to take individual protective measures (like using repellents) to avoid mosquito bites. Dengue is transmitted by a daytime mosquito and consequently protective measures must be applied throughout the day. Travellers experiencing febrile symptoms with severe headache, retro-orbital pain, myalgia, arthralgia and maculo-papular rash within 21 days of visiting Madeira are advised to seek medical advice.

ECDC continues monitoring the situation in collaboration with National and regional (Madeira) public health authorities in Portugal and gathering information on confirmed cases reported by EU/EEA Member States among returning travellers.

New Madeira Dengue cases reported per week in local population continue to drop

Since the start of the Dengue outbreak in Madeira on 3rd October 2012, a total of 2164 Dengue fever cases have been reported in the Autonomous Region of Madeira health network, with new number of reported cases per week in local population continuing to drop.

Exported cases of Dengue Fever

Picture
Madeira Dengue Fever - exported cases. Analysis www.zino.pt
NOTE: reporting is monthly, so possible that exported cases could have occurred since previous report issue rather than a significant outbreak.

Total number of exported cases has increased from 74 to 78 since the last monthly report in January 2013, with one new case reported in Portugal and three in Finland. The last report was on 1st February 2013 (ECDC - CDTR report week 6).

No travel restrictions to and from Madeira maintained and preventative measures still recommended.

Although the number of new local Dengue Fever cases reported per week continue to drop (due to reduced mosquito population activity because of lower temperatures), dengue still exists in the vector Aedes aegypti mosquito in Madeira, as the new cases confirm. Health authorities maintain the recommendation of prevention measures to avoid getting bitten by mosquito.

Dengue Fever mosquito Monitoring Programme

We maintain developing the Aedes aegypti Mosquito Monitoring Programme which will allow participants to monitor mosquito eggs and larvae as well as adult mosquito population and, according to weekly results, take preventative measures to avoid adult mosquito outbreaks and consequent Dengue Fever transmission/outbreak.
The Aedes aegypti Mosquito Monitoring Programme can also include a site visit and audit to identify potential mosquito breeding sites and recommend actions to reduce or eliminate breeding sites as well as regular audits to verify implementation of recommendations.

We are working with the Chamber of Commerce and local  authorities to develop a network of participants who want to monitor their own private areas, which can complement the monitoring network being done by local authorities.

Madeira Dengue outbreak reducing amongst locals but increasing amongst vistors to the island

Whilst the reported cases of Dengue Fever amongst the local population reported on 19-12-2012 by local and national health authorities were reconfirmed by ECDC´s CDTR of week 51 issued 22-12-2012, the same report increased the number of reported exported cases from 58 to 72 until 20 December 2012.

Health authorities  including the European ECDC and US CDC maintain that there are no travel restrictions to Madeira. Visitors should take preventative protection measures (use mosquito relent containing DEET, use long sleeves shirts and trousers) to prevent getting bitten.
The epidemiological situation does not imply the need for any trade or travel restriction beyond the disinfestation policies currently implemented.
