Abstract

Background and purpose: Dengue fever is a viral disease transmitted by arthropods. Given its significance in society's health and environmental sanitation's impact on its outbreak, it is important to increase awareness, monitoring, and prevention of this disease. Due to insufficient information in this field, this review article aims to provide insights into the factors influencing the spread of dengue fever. Materials and Methods: The current review was conducted by searching the Web of Science, Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus databases using the keywords "Dengue fever, " "environmental sanitation, " "Aedes mosquito, " "Drainage of water reservoirs, " and "Waste Management" and articles published between 2000 and 2023 were reviewed and analyzed. Results: The findings of the study indicated that changes in environmental improvement factors affect the spread and prevalence of dengue fever. Additionally, the presence of stagnant water in ponds and pits, along with the accumulation of waste materials such as cans, plastic containers, and especially worn tires, has been identified as factors that increase the population of Aedes mosquito larvae. The study also determined that implementing measures such as emptying and weekly washing water tanks, as well as establishing a waste management program, can effectively control this disease. Conclusion: The implementation of environmental sanitation measures in waste management systems, sewage collection, drainage, and water storage in reservoirs is an effective strategy for reducing the population of dengue carriers, and consequently, mitigating the spread of the disease.
