| Abstract | Background: Given the changing ecosystem, global warming, expanding trade, and international travel, there are factors that could challenge the country's health system with a potential dengue outbreak. In this policy brief, we aim to provide a summary of dengue prevention and control strategies for the general public and policymakers. Methods: The present policy brief is a systematic review to compile a policy brief in Iranian society, which was conducted in three stages. Stage 1: Specialized keywords were used to search Google Scholar and PubMed. Stage 2: The lead author extracted a draft of the policy framework and discussed it with his colleague. Stage 3: The final policy options were compiled into the article. Results: According to the recommendations in the articles, six policy options for controlling and preventing dengue fever (DF) in Iranian society were presented in the present study. These options are: (1) Public education and awareness; (2) Mosquito population control; (3) Early detection and rapid response to disease outbreaks; (4) Development of basic and applied research; 5. Implementation of vaccination and quarantine campaigns; 6. Reduction of environmental and oil pollutants. Conclusions: In order to increase the impact and sustainability of policies, it is recommended to use an integrated approach of the options obtained from the study with the continuous support of the responsible authorities as sustainable strategies to deal with the spread, control, and prevention of DF in the future. | en |
