The Preparedness Plan for Surveillance and Interventions on Emerging Vector-Borne Diseases (VBDs) in Southern Switzerland outlines the strategy for preventing and managing potential outbreaks, as well as the surveillance and control activities with a specific focus on Aedes-borne diseases transmitted by Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. The objective of the plan is to provide Public Health Authorities with a framework of preventive and control measures according to the situation and level of epidemic risks.
The plan is divided into various phases representing the different steps for all potential situations, ranging from no vectors and no transmission risk to epidemic levels with multiple autochthonous/local cases of hospitalization (and deaths) until the end of the epidemic. An algorithm presents how decisions are taken to move from one phase of the plan to another, with detailed activities for different partners and strategies for each specific phase.
The different phases of the plan include activities on disease surveillance and clinical case management, on vector surveillance and control, communication and coordination of activities. The plan is divided into five phases of activities and decision levels. From phase 0 (no cases) to phase 1 (low number of local cases, less than 5), phase 2 (small outbreak with more than 5 local cases), phase 3 (epidemic) and phase 4 (return to no more cases).
The plan has been approved by the cantonal authorities and will be submitted to federal authorities. The required implementation tests will begin shortly.
瑞士南部新兴病媒传播疾病（VBD）监测和干预准备计划概述了预防和管理潜在疫情的策略，以及针对由白纹伊蚊传播的登革热等虫媒疾病的监测和控制活动。该计划的目的是根据疫情风险的情况和级别，为公共卫生当局提供一套预防和控制措施的框架。
该计划分为不同的阶段，代表了所有潜在情况的不同步骤，从没有病媒和传播风险，到有多个本地住院（和死亡）病例的流行水平，直到疫情结束。算法展示了如何从计划的一个阶段过渡到另一个阶段的决策，为不同的合作伙伴提供了详细的活动和每个特定阶段的策略。
该计划的不同阶段包括疾病监测和临床病例管理、病媒监测和控制、沟通和协调活动。该计划分为五个活动和决策级别阶段。从阶段 0（无病例）到阶段 1（本地病例数低，少于 5 例）、阶段 2（小型暴发，超过 5 例本地病例）、阶段 3（流行）和阶段 4（恢复无更多病例）。
该计划已获得州当局的批准，并将提交联邦当局。所需的实施测试将很快开始。
