well some one should do something to stop the vectors(sounds like mosquitos) maybe introduce more frogs? im not really sure how you would do that safely.
make sure they all have CLEAN water[[ P&G owns the Pur company. they have a very cool product that will seperate any bacteria or dirt from water and cause it to fall to the bottum of the container.]]
try to keep conditions as sanitary as possible. especialy for young children who love to get into everything
i will pray for you! i hope this helped a little =)

from your details, most of those viruses are carried by mosquitoes.since mosquitoes are the vector,eradicate does mosquitoes and you will solve the problem.biological control and public awareness are key factors to control the mosquito population.im from selangor, malaysia and dengue cases has been on a rise in my area, they keep fogging everytime there is a dengue case but the numbers are still on a rise.the public must be informed of the problem and how to play a part in curbing the matter..
good luck

viruses are transmitted hand to mouth, stress frequent and thorough hand washing. Do not share eating utensils. Avoid large crowds and wash hands alot.
