In recent decades, dengue has grown dramatically as a health, environmental and eco-nomic problem. However, the resources needed to cope - material, human and research - have not kept pace. In the coming 10 years, the environmental and social determinants of dengue transmission risks will continue to expand: another billion people will be added to the world population, the process of urbanization will intensify, and changes in global climate and local weather patterns are expected. In order to deal with the in-creasing threat of dengue, the Scientific Working Group (SWG) recommended that a multi-pronged approach be adopted which takes into account these changing social and environmental conditions.
