          Abstract

          Objective To understand responses to outbreaks of dengue fever (DF) among communities of major ethnic groups in cross-border, so that to improve community-based DF control and prevention.

          Methods A community with a DF outbreak in China and Myanmar in 2017 was sampled for Dai, Jingpo and Wa ethnic groups, respectively. A combination of indepth interviews and participatory direct observation were used to investigate responses to DF outbreaks.

          Results Total six communities have been studied. In Mando that is a Dai village in Jinghong City suburb of China, environmental management (EM) was used as the main interventions, households with Aedes positive water would be fined as a punishment. In Nandeng that is a Wa community in Shan Special Region Ⅱ of Myanmar, community leaders were empowered to be responsible for dengue control. Both EM and spraying or fogging with chemical insecticides were used to control dengue vectors. Community leaders would be fined and administratively punished in a case that there were DF patients or Aedes positive water. The chemical control measure was mainly depended on in four other communities of Jingpo village of Nabang town of Yingjiang County and Manggang Wa Village of Mangka Town of Cangyuan County, China, and Wangdong Dai village of East Shan Special region IV and Waza Kachin village of Kachin Special Region II, Myanmar. Assignment of EM was given to each household with regular supervisions, and responders did not mention any penalty on inappropriate performance at household level.

          Conclusion Six communities used different dengue vector control and EM methods. Further EM and behavior change communication were recommended to improve intensity of integrated EM for vector control to fight against any possible DF outbreaks.
