Objective:
To systematically identify and synthesise dengue management strategies, levels of implementation, management dimensions, key challenges and proposed solutions across health systems worldwide.
Design:
A scoping review following the Arksey and O'Malley framework and reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines.
Data Sources:
PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase and the Cochrane Library were searched for studies published between January 2003 and December 2024. Reference lists of included studies were also manually screened.
Eligibility Criteria:
English-language, peer-reviewed articles and reviews focusing on dengue management strategies, challenges and solutions at any health system level were included. Studies without full-text access or outside the scope of dengue management were excluded.
Data Extraction And Synthesis:
Two reviewers independently screened studies and extracted data using a structured form. Extracted data were charted and synthesised using an inductive thematic approach to identify core strategy domains, implementation levels, challenges and solutions.
Results:
Of 4822 records identified, 34 studies met the eligibility criteria. Dengue management strategies were categorised into six domains: vector and environmental control; surveillance and early warning systems; vaccination; enhancement of diagnostic and treatment services; community participation and education; and governance with intersectoral coordination. Implementation occurred at community, municipal, national, regional and international levels. Key challenges were grouped into five domains: structural and resource-related; sociocultural; governance and policy; scientific and technological; and climate- and urbanisation-related factors.
Conclusions:
Global dengue management is increasingly adopting integrated, multi-sectoral approaches. Effective dengue control requires strengthening health system infrastructure, institutionalising community engagement and leveraging scientific and technological innovations. Sustained political commitment, stable financing mechanisms and coordinated governance across sectors are essential for resilient and sustainable dengue control.
