Disease Vectors
by insects, ticks, and other arthropods and mechanical vectors (vehicles). Also included within the scope of part one are the development, implementation and evaluation of intervention strategies to prevent, control or eliminate arthropod disease vector viral hazards and associated risks. Part two of the Environmental Health Insights Disease Vectors supplement focuses on bacterial agents transm...
متن کاملControl of Chagas' disease vectors.
Most Latin American countries are making dramatic progress in controlling Chagas disease, through a series of national and international initiatives focusing on elimination of domestic populations of Triatominae, improved screening of blood donors, and clinical support and treatment of persons infected with Trypanosoma cruzi. Some countries, particularly Uruguay, Chile and Brazil, are sufficien...
متن کاملContainment of arthropod disease vectors.
Effective containment of arthropod vectors of infectious diseases is necessary to prevent transmission of pathogens by released, infected vectors and to prevent vectors that escape from establishing populations that subsequently contribute to increased disease. Although rare, past releases illustrate what can go wrong and justify the need for guidelines that minimize risks. An overview of recom...
متن کاملInsecticides and Chagas Disease Vectors
Chemical control of Chagas disease vectors appears to be the best practical way to reduce the incidence of the disease. DDT was initially tested in the 1950s for the campaigns of control of Chagas disease vectors. Its low level of effectiveness against triatomine caused the failure of these control actions. HCH was then introduced in the southern cone and Dieldrin in the north of Latinoamerica....
متن کاملAcoustic communication in insect disease vectors
Acoustic signalling has been extensively studied in insect species, which has led to a better understanding of sexual communication, sexual selection and modes of speciation. The significance of acoustic signals for a blood-sucking insect was first reported in the XIX century by Christopher Johnston, studying the hearing organs of mosquitoes, but has received relatively little attention in othe...
