Abstract

T he objective of our study is to evaluate the distribution and characteristic of Dengue and Chikungunya fever in newly- enrolled college students in Yunnan province in order to indirectly understand the distribution of two kinds of mosquito- borne infectious diseases in Yunnan province. A total of 89 newly-enrolled college students took part in this study. The same number of serum samples were collected from the students who took part from four regions of Yunnan province. It included the south, the west, the central and the northeast regions of Yunnan. ELISA was used to detect the presence of antibody (IgG) relevant to dengue and Chikungunya. The DF positive antibody (IgG) was 21.35% and CHIK was 0%. Our result shows the presence of dengue related cases in some regions of Yunan province. The presence of antibody for Dengue fever (IgG) found to be proportionally high in west region compared to the other regions of Yunnan. The surveillance, prevention and control for dengue fever should be strengthened.
