Caption:
This 2014 image, captured in the Kota Bharu district of Kelantan, Malaysia, depicted Malaysian Field Epidemiology Training Program (FETP) investigators, Dr. Nik Khairol Reza Mohd Yazin, and Dr. Mohd Hafiz Abdullah, in the process of examining what would be a prime breeding site for Aedes spp. mosquitoes, during a Dengue fever outbreak. In this particular view, one of the investigators was looking inside an old tire, which due to its ability to retain water, was a probable mosquito breeding ground. The FETP trains workers on the ground to help countries build sustainable capacity for detecting and responding to health threats. The program develops in-country expertise so that disease outbreaks can be detected locally and prevented from spreading.
