Dengue is a dangerous disease that can lead to death. This disease transmitted by Aedes mosquito that has spread throughout the world including Malaysia. Now, there is no vaccine available for the disease or no specific cure that can deal with this issue except fogging technique as the conventional way that has been used as the main strategy for controlling Aedes’s mosquito population. However, the issues and challenges of dengue can be overcome by looking at public attitudes on the level of knowledge, awareness and practice of the local community to combat dengue.
