We explored the literature on dengue vector control methods used in high-income, city settings and associations with dengue incidence, dengue prevalence, or mosquito vector densities.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Studies of any design or year were included if they reported effects on human DENV infection or <jats:italic>Aedes<\/jats:italic> vector indices of dengue-specific vector control interventions in high-income, city settings.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Of 24 eligible sources, most reported research in the United States (n = 8) or Australia (n = 5). Biocontrol (n = 12) and chemical control (n = 13) were the most frequently discussed vector control methods. Only 6 sources reported data on the effectiveness of a given method in reducing human DENV incidence or prevalence, 2 described effects of larval and adult control on <jats:italic>Aedes<\/jats:italic> DENV positivity, 20 reported effectiveness in reducing vector density, using insecticide, larvicide, source reduction, auto-dissemination of pyriproxyfen and <jats:italic>Wolbachia<\/jats:italic>, and only 1 described effects on human-vector contact.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>As most studies reported reductions in vector densities, rather than any effects on human DENV incidence or prevalence, we can draw no clear conclusions on which interventions might be most effective in reducing dengue in high-income, city areas. More research is needed linking evidence on the effects of different DENV vector control methods with dengue incidence\/prevalence or mosquito vector densities in high-income, city settings as this is likely to differ from low-income settings. This is a significant evidence gap as climate changes increase the global reach of DENV. The importance of community involvement was clear in several studies, although it is impossible to tease out the relative contributions of this from other control methods used.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pntd.0012081","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,17]],"date-time":"2024-04-17T17:28:10Z","timestamp":1713374890000},"page":"e0012081","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pntd.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Dengue vector control in high-income, city settings: A scoping review of approaches and methods"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6674-1862","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Anna","family":"Durrance-Bagale","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nirel","family":"Hoe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jane","family":"Lai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jonathan Wee Kent","family":"Liew","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hannah","family":"Clapham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Natasha","family":"Howard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"pntd.0012081.ref001","author":"World Health Organization","year":"2022","journal-title":"Dengue and severe dengue"},{"issue":"7446","key":"pntd.0012081.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"504","DOI":"10.1038\/nature12060","article-title":"The global distribution and burden of dengue","volume":"496","author":"S Bhatt","year":"2013","journal-title":"Nature"},{"issue":"8","key":"pntd.0012081.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e1760","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pntd.0001760","article-title":"Refining the Global Spatial Limits of Dengue Virus Transmission by Evidence-Based Consensus.","volume":"6","author":"OJ Brady","year":"2012","journal-title":"PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases."},{"issue":"3","key":"pntd.0012081.ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"480","DOI":"10.1128\/CMR.11.3.480","article-title":"Dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever","volume":"11","author":"DJ Gubler","year":"1998","journal-title":"Clin Microbiol Rev"},{"issue":"12","key":"pntd.0012081.ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e1426","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pntd.0001426","article-title":"Economic Impact of Dengue Illness and the Cost-Effectiveness of Future Vaccination Programs in Singapore.","volume":"5","author":"LR Carrasco","year":"2011","journal-title":"PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases."},{"key":"pntd.0012081.ref006","author":"World Health Organization","year":"2009","journal-title":"Dengue guidelines, for diagnosis, treatment, prevention and control.;"},{"key":"pntd.0012081.ref007","article-title":"Over half of known human pathogenic diseases can be aggravated by climate change","author":"C Mora","year":"2022","journal-title":"Nature Climate Change"},{"issue":"2","key":"pntd.0012081.ref008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"118","DOI":"10.1111\/wvn.12144","article-title":"An Evidence-Based Approach to Scoping Reviews.","volume":"13","author":"H Khalil","year":"2016","journal-title":"Worldviews Evid Based Nurs."},{"issue":"3","key":"pntd.0012081.ref009","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"141","DOI":"10.1097\/XEB.0000000000000050","article-title":"Guidance for conducting systematic scoping reviews.","volume":"13","author":"MD Peters","year":"2015","journal-title":"Int J Evid Based Healthc"},{"issue":"1","key":"pntd.0012081.ref010","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"69","DOI":"10.1186\/1748-5908-5-69","article-title":"Scoping studies: advancing the methodology","volume":"5","author":"D Levac","year":"2010","journal-title":"Implementation Science"},{"issue":"1","key":"pntd.0012081.ref011","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"19","DOI":"10.1080\/1364557032000119616","article-title":"\u2019Malley L.
