Abstract
Introduction
Dengue is the most rapidly advancing vector-borne disease in the world (Special Programme for Research and
Training in Tropical Diseases, WHO/TDR 2007). Overall, it is estimated that 2.5 billion people, or roughly onethird of the worlds population, live in dengue-endemic
areas. Annually, an estimated 50100 million cases of
dengue fever and several hundred thousand cases of
severe dengue occur.
In the absence of any vaccine and preventive drugs,
controlling the mosquito vectors of dengue (principally

Study selection
Analysis
After screening out duplicates, the literature search identified 355 articles for assessment. Fourteen articles met the
eligibility criteria. Of these, nine were identified from the
published literature databases and three from the grey
literature search (Phan-Urai et al. 1995; Haq et al. 2004;
Lam et al. 2010). The most common reasons for exclusion were as follows: interventions did not use Bti (190
studies), the manuscripts were review articles and/or of
non-experimental design (93 articles) or the studies took
place in laboratory or semi-field settings (33 articles). A
review of the references cited in the articles that met the
eligibility criteria yielded one additional study (Dua et al.
1993). One more article (Tan et al. 2012) that was
Because the majority of the included studies were nonrandomised, it was not possible to utilise an existing, validated instrument for assessing risk of bias. Instead, the
CONSORT 2010 checklist served as a framework to
describe limitations in the conduct and reporting of the
included studies. No studies were excluded for quality
reasons if the eligibility criteria were met, but limitations
and possible biases are reported in the results section.
Different Bti formulations and methods of application,
together with varying statistical analyses and outcome
measures across the studies, precluded any attempt at
meta-analysis.
