Abstract

One of the most serious and deadly infected diseases in Malaysia is dengue fever. This disease is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. It is a flu-like viral disease which spreads from one person to another via a bite from an infected Aedes mosquitoes. Sudden dengue haemorrhagic fever usually starts with a high fever, rashes, severe headaches, joint pains and could lead to death within two weeks after being infected if not treated. Although Local Authorities and Ministry of Health have increased efforts in controlling the Aedes population, designers could also assist in mitigating this national issue.
