Dengue is transmitted by mosquitos. Accordnig to the US NIH (National Institute of Health): "The best way to prevent dengue fever is to take special precautions to avoid contact with mosquitoes. Several dengue vaccines are being developed, but none is likely to be licensed by the Food and Drug Administration in the next few years.
When outdoors in an area where dengue fever has been found
Use a mosquito repellant containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus
Dress in protective clothing-long-sleeved shirts, long pants, socks, and shoes
Because Aedes mosquitoes usually bite during the day, be sure to use precautions especially during early morning hours before daybreak and in the late afternoon before dark.

Other precautions include
Keeping unscreened windows and doors closed
Keeping window and door screens repaired
Getting rid of areas where mosquitoes breed, such as standing water in flower pots, containers, birdbaths, discarded tires, etc. "

Probably you need a lot more information than I can give you here. The second Website listed below is the World Health Organization's page on Dengue. The third referece is to a publication by the WHO about Dengue that may answer some of your questions. You will notice that you can choose from a few different languages such as English, Chinese, Russian, Arabic, French and Spanish. Please contact someone at the WHO or in a professional capacity elsewhere and I wish you success in getting control of dengue in your community.
