WPRO Dengue Situation Update, 12 February 2014

as of 12 February 2014

Regional dengue activity is variable. Malaysia and Singapore have been experiencing a greater number of reported cases in 2014 compared to 2013, for the same time period. The recent trend increased in Australia and New Caledonia, however, reported cases remained lower than 2013, for the same time period, particularly in New Caledonia. The recent trend continued to decrease in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Philippines and Viet Nam.

Lao PDR experienced a large dengue year in 2013, peaking in August 2013. However, in early 2014, dengue activity remains low, and substantially lower than during the same time period in 2013.

Malaysia has been experiencing increased level of dengue activity. In early 2014, dengue activity is over 2 times higher than 2013 for the same time period.

Singapore has also been experiencing an increased level of dengue activity. In early 2014, dengue activity is 1.7 times higher than 2013, for the same time period. The recent trend, however, has decreased.

In addition, dengue and other arboviruses continue to impact several Pacific Islands. New Caledonia experienced a large dengue year in 2013, characterized by rapid increase in the number of reported cases since late 2012, followed by a decline in May and low levels since Aug 2013. French Polynesia has been experiencing increasing levels of dengue since mid-2013, with high levels sustained to date (more than 1000 cases reported in 2013). Kiribati and Fiji, have been seeing higher dengue activity since December 2013. In addition to dengue, Zika virus outbreak (first reported in the Pacific in 2007 from Federated States of Micronesia) is occurring concurrently in French Polynesia and Chikungunya virus outbreak (first reported in the Pacific in 2011 from New Caledonia) in Federated States of Micronesia.

Dengue Situation Updates

as of 26 February 2014

Regional dengue activity is variable. Australia, Malaysia and Singapore have been experiencing a greater number of reported cases in 2014 compared to 2013, for the same time period. The recent trend increased in New Caledonia and Lao PDR however, reported cases remained lower than 2013, for the same time period. The recent trend continued to decrease in Cambodia, Philippines and Viet Nam.

Lao PDR experienced a large dengue year in 2013, peaking in August 2013. However, in early 2014, dengue activity remains low, and substantially lower than during the same time period in 2013.

Malaysia is experiencing an outbreak of dengue. In February 2014, dengue activity is about 4 times higher than 2013, for the same time period.

Singapore has also been experiencing an increased level of dengue activity. In early 2014, dengue activity is 1.5 times higher than 2013, for the same time period.

Dengue virus infection in the Pacific Region
High level of dengue activity is being observed in Fiji, New Caledonia, Vanuatu and Cook Islands.

In Fiji, as of 16 Feb 2014, there were more than 6659 suspected including 2589 confirmed cases of dengue. There are two confirmed and two suspected dengue deaths. The Central Division reported the highest number of suspected cases of with 2112 cases reported. DENV-3 has been isolated. The number of cases is expected to continue to increase in the coming months. WHO and SPC have provided technical and financial support to assist in the confirmation and response to the outbreak. This includes, the provision by WHO of 10,000 dengue test kits. MOH are responding to the situation with control measures including cleaning, discarding water containers to remove mosquito breeding places in addition to other vector control activities.

In New Caledonia, since Sept 2013, there have been more than 70 dengue cases as of 20 Feb, with an increasing proportion of endemically transmitted disease reported, DENV-3 has been isolated in addition to DENV-1 (isolated in an imported case). Arboviral surveillance and public health response measures have been reviewed and strengthened.

In Vanuatu, as of 18 Feb 2014, a total of 765 cases were reported, including 85 confirmed cases of dengue. The total cases reported in 2-9 Feb was 111 cases, slightly lower than the previous week of 27 Jan to 1 Feb at 219 cases. The Ministry of Health is continuing to activate enhanced surveillance in Port Vila and the main centers throughout the country. With the support of WHO and other external partners, case management capacity and prevention intervention have been strengthened in Port Vila and Luganville. Efforts have been taken by the MOH to control and reduce the dengue outbreak.

In Cook Islands, as of 25 February 2014 there have been 47 cases of dengue-like illness of which 36 were RDT positive. All cases are from Raratonga, there have not been any hospitalizations. Specimens have been sent to French Polynesia for serotyping and results are pending.

In French Polynesia, the dengue situation appears to be improving with a decline in cases reported each week after seeing an increasing level of dengue since mid-July 2013. As of 21 Feb 2014, the total number of cases is 1,724.

Dengue virus serotype 3 (DENV-3), to which a large proportion of the population of the Pacific Islands is likely to be susceptible has been recently isolated in the Region and is co-circulating with serotype 1 (DENV-1), although, a large proportion of the Pacific Island communities are likely to be immune to DENV-1 as it has been circulating in the Region for many years. Dengue virus serotype 3 has recently re-emerged in several countries and territories in the South Pacific after nearly 20 years. WHO is closely monitoring the situation in the Region.

Dengue Situation Updates

as of 25 March 2014

Regional dengue activity is variable. Australia, Malaysia and Singapore have been experiencing a greater number of reported cases in 2014 compared to 2013, for the same time period. The recent trend continued to decrease in Cambodia, Lao PDR, New Caledonia, Philippines and Viet Nam.

Malaysia is experiencing an outbreak of dengue. Dengue activity in 2014 is more than 4 times higher than 2013, for the same time period.

Singapore is experiencing an increased level of dengue activity. Dengue activity in 2014 is 1.2 times higher than 2013, for the same time period.

Dengue virus infection in the Pacific Region High level of dengue activity is being observed in Fiji, New Caledonia and French Polynesia.

In Fiji, there are over 15,000 suspected dengue cases and a total of 12 confirmed dengue deaths in which one was a health worker. Majority of the cases were from the Central division, however there was an increasing number of cases being observed in the Western and Northern division. DENV-3 has been isolated. The number of cases is still expected to continue to increase. WHO, Australian Aid program (Fiji Health Sector Support Program), Fiji Red Cross, IFRC, US CDC, QUT (WHO CC Brisbane), UNICEF and SPC have provided technical and financial support to assist in the confirmation and response to the outbreak. This includes, the provision by WHO of dengue test kits. MOH are responding to the situation and has issued a National Dengue Action Plan with focus on strengthening dengue surveillance, dengue clinical management, dengue laboratory reporting and management, strengthen public health response, acoordination and logistics for outbreak and improve communication.

In New Caledonia, as of 19 Mar 2014, there have been 122 cases of dengue since September 2013: 24 cases in 2013, 16 cases in January, 58 cases in February and 24 cases in March. Given the high level of activity in the region and the increasing cases of zika virus infection, arboviral surveillance and public health response measures have been reviewed and strengthened. DENV-3 has been isolated in addition to DENV-1 (isolated in an imported case) from cases occurring in New Caledonia.

In French Polynesia, the dengue situation appears to be improving with a decline in cases reported each week after seeing an increasing level of dengue since mid-July 2013. As of 14 Mar 2014, the total number of cases is 1,811 and there has been one death. Both dengue serotype-1 and serotype-3 were isolated.

Dengue virus serotype 3 (DENV-3), to which a large proportion of the population of the Pacific Islands is likely to be susceptible has been recently isolated in the Region and is now co-circulating with serotype 1 (DENV-1). Dengue virus serotype 3 has recently re-emerged in several countries and territories in the South Pacific after nearly 20 years. WHO is closely monitoring the situation in the Region.

Dengue Situation Updates

as of 8 April 2014

Regional dengue activity is variable. Malaysia continues to report a greater number of reported cases in 2014 compared to 2013, for the same time period, however, the recent trend has decreased. Australia and Singapore, have reported a similar number of cases in 2014 compared to 2013, for the same time period. Lao PDR and the Philippines continued to report a decrease in trend whilst Cambodia reported a recent increase in trend, however the number of cases was much lower than 2013, for the same time period.

Dengue virus infection in the Pacific Region High level of dengue activity is being observed in Fiji, New Caledonia and French Polynesia.

In Fiji, there are over 20,000 suspected dengue cases and a total of 12 confirmed dengue deaths. Majority (70%) of the cases were from the Central division, followed by the West (20%), the North (9.5%) and few from the East (0.5%). DENV-3 has been isolated. WHO, Australian Aid program (Fiji Health Sector Support Program), Fiji Red Cross, IFRC, US CDC, QUT (WHO CC Brisbane), UNICEF and SPC have provided technical and financial support to assist in the confirmation and response to the outbreak. This includes, the provision by WHO of dengue test kits. MOH are responding to the situation and has issued a National Dengue Action Plan with focus on strengthening dengue surveillance, dengue clinical management, dengue laboratory reporting and management, strengthen public health response, coordination and logistics for outbreak and improve communication.

In New Caledonia, as of 8 April 2014, there have been 154 cases of dengue since September 2013: 24 cases in 2013, 16 cases in January 2014, 58 cases in February, 56 cases in March and 24 cases in April 2014. Given the high level of activity in the region and the increasing number of cases with zika virus infection, arboviral surveillance and public health response measures have been reviewed and strengthened. DENV-3 has been isolated in addition to DENV-1 (isolated in an imported case) from cases occurring in New Caledonia.

In French Polynesia, the dengue cases reported continue to decline each week. As of 28 Mar 2014, the total number of cases is 1,865 and there has been one death. Since the first quarter of 2014, the number is decreasing: 146 in January, 127 in February and 102 cases in March. Both dengue serotype-1 and serotype-3 were isolated.

Dengue virus serotype 3 (DENV-3), to which a large proportion of the population of the Pacific Islands is likely to be susceptible has been recently isolated in the Region and is now co-circulating with serotype 1 (DENV-1). Dengue virus serotype 3 has recently re-emerged in several countries and territories in the South Pacific after nearly 20 years. WHO is closely monitoring the situation in the Region, especially with regard to serotype circulation.

Re: Western Pacific Regional Office Dengue Situation Updates 2014

Dengue Situation Updates

as of 22 April 2014

Regional dengue activity is variable. Malaysia continues to report a greater number of reported cases in 2014 compared to 2013, for the same time period. However, cases appear to be decreasing. Singapore has reported a similar number of cases in 2014 compared to 2013. Australia, Cambodia, Lao PDR, the Philippines and Viet Nam reported lower levels of dengue activity in 2014 compared to 2013.

Dengue virus infection in the Pacific Region High level of dengue activity is being observed in Fiji, French Polynesia, Solomon Islands and Tuvalu. Dengue virus serotype 3 (DENV-3), to which a large proportion of the population of the Pacific Islands is likely to be susceptible has been recently isolated in the Region and is now co-circulating with serotype 1 (DENV-1). DENV-3 has recently re-emerged in several countries and territories in the South Pacific after nearly 20 years. WHO is closely monitoring the situation in the Region, especially with regard to serotype circulation.

In Fiji, the outbreak since last December has affected over 20,000 individuals, including 13 deaths. Most cases have occurred in the Central Division. The Ministry of Health, in collaboration with other government sectors and health partners including WHO, has embarked on controlling and responding to the outbreak.

In French Polynesia, a dengue outbreak is ongoing. Since February 2013, there have been 1,906 positive cases of dengue as of 4 April 2014. In the month of March, all cases serotyped were dengue serotype-1 and the rate of hospitalization and severe cases has increased.

In Solomon Islands, 754 cases of dengue have been reported since January 2014 (138 additional cases reported this week). A post disaster epidemic surveillance system was set up in Honiara and Guadalcanal Province following flash flooding on 4 April 2014. Rapid reference laboratory testing of samples by the Institut Louis Malarde, French Polynesia, confirmed the dengue serotype as type 3. As this is the same type that caused the large dengue outbreak in 2013, and because infection with one serotype results in life-long immunity to that specific serotype, the likelihood of an explosive and widespread outbreak is lower than if another serotype was identified.

In Tuvalu, a dengue outbreak is occurring with nine confirmed cases out of 43 dengue-like illness (DLI cases), as of 10 April 2014. The Ministry of Health has embarked on an extensive clean-up campaign.

Dengue Situation Updates

as of 6 May 2014

Regional dengue activity is variable. The recent trend for dengue declined in all countries except Singapore. Dengue activity in Malaysia appears to be declining however the number of cases in 2014 was higher compared to 2013, for the same time period.

Dengue virus infection in the Pacific Region
High level of dengue activity is being observed in a number of Pacific Island Countries and Areas. Dengue virus serotype 3 (DENV-3), to which a large proportion of the population of the Pacific Islands is likely to be susceptible has been recently isolated in the Region and is now co-circulating with serotype 1 (DENV-1). DENV-3 has recently re-emerged in several countries and territories in the South Pacific after nearly 20 years. WHO is closely monitoring the situation in the Region, especially with regard to serotype circulation.c

In French Polynesia, the dengue epidemic continues. As of 17 April 2014 the total number of positive cases of dengue reported since February 2013 is 1,950. Of the 33 samples tested (PCR) in March; 32 were dengue serotype-1 and one was dengue serotype-three.

In Nauru, an increase in dengue-like illness including 3 cases from the detention centre.

In Tuvalu, a dengue outbreak is occurring with 22 confirmed cases out of 98 dengue-like illness (DLI cases), as of 24 April 2014.

Re: Western Pacific Regional Office Dengue Situation Updates 2014

Dengue Situation Updates

as of 20 May 2014

Regional dengue activity is variable. The recent trend for dengue is declining in all countries, except Singapore. Dengue activity in Malaysia appears to be declining however the number of cases in 2014 is substantially higher compared to the same period in 2013.

Dengue virus infection in the Pacific Region
High level of dengue activity is being observed in a number of Pacific Island Countries and Areas. Dengue virus serotype 3 (DENV-3), to which a large proportion of the population of the Pacific Islands is likely to be susceptible has been recently isolated in the Region and is now co-circulating with serotype 1 (DENV-1). DENV-3 has recently re-emerged in several countries and territories in the South Pacific after nearly 20 years. WHO is closely monitoring the situation in the Region, especially with regard to serotype circulation.

In French Polynesia, the dengue epidemic continues. As of 02 May 2014 the total number of positive cases of dengue reported since February 2013 is 2,023.

In Solomon Islands, the dengue epidemic continues. From 1 January to 9 May 2014, 1225 suspected cases have been reported in Solomon Islands and of these 195 have tested positive (RDT ? NS1 and/or IgM). 115 suspected cases were reported during the reporting week; of these 18 cases tested positive. This represents a decrease from the 199 suspected and 31 test-positive cases from last week. The majority of the suspected cases were from Honiara (79%).

Tuvalu is experiencing a dengue outbreak. As of 13 May 2014,176 suspected cases have been reported with sixty-nine rapid test positives (66 NS1 and 3 IgM). Response measures have been carried out and this includes: cleaning campaigns, spraying and live radio programs.

Re: Western Pacific Regional Office Dengue Situation Updates 2014

Dengue Situation Updates

as of 3 June 2014

Regional dengue activity is variable. The recent trend for dengue is increasing in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Malaysia and Singapore. Compared to 2013, Malaysia was the only country of these four where 2014 was substantially higher compared to the same period in 2013.

Dengue virus infection in the Pacific Region
High level of dengue activity is being observed in a number of Pacific Island Countries and Areas (PICs). Dengue virus serotype 2 (DENV-2) has recently been isolated in Tuvalu in spite of DENV-3 being the current predominant strain. In 2013, DENV-3 re-emerged in several countries and territories in the South Pacific after nearly 20 years. DENV-1 is also circulating in a number of PICs. WHO is closely monitoring the situation in the Region, especially with regard to serotype circulation.

In French Polynesia, the dengue epidemic continues. As of 28 May 2014 the total number of positive cases of dengue reported since February 2013 is 2,188.

In the Solomon Islands, a DENV-3 outbreak is occurring. As of 23 May 2014, 1,513 cases have been reported since January 2014. In the past week, 124 suspected cases were reported. Dengue mosquito surveys in high transmission areas are being conducted, to determine, among other things, the effectiveness of current vector control measures as well as give an indication of the current endemic vector/disease dynamic.

In Tuvalu, DENV-2 has been identified in samples sent to the Institut Louis Malarde (ILM) reference laboratory, French Polynesia. Of the 46 specimens that were sent to ILM, 26 were positive (RT-PCR) for dengue virus serotype 2. Response measures have been carried out and this includes: cleaning campaigns, spraying and live radio programs.

In Nauru, 221 suspected dengue cases have been tested by IgM ELISA and/or rapid test with NS1/IgM; 70 have tested positive. Confirmation of circulating serotype(s) is underway and samples will be sent to ILM reference laboratory in French Polynesia. The number of cases continues to decrease.
