Independent entomological variables and human socio-economic characteristics can influence the risk of malaria infection in urban areas, yet the imbalanced spatial distribution of infection remains in question. There is often a lack of simultaneous consideration of the factors responsible for the transmission of parasites. This work examines interactions between the entomological profile of urb...

The objective of this study was to analyze the surveillance of Chagas' disease in São Paulo State through notifications registered from 1990 to 1999. The information originated when notification of triatomines was announced by inhabitants and the established control program was followed. 20,563 triatomine notifications were received, showing a decrease over the years, with more accentuated decr...

Based on an agreement between the Ministry of Health and the National Space Activities Commission in Argentina, an integrated informatics platform for dengue risk using geospatial technology for the surveillance and prediction of risk areas for dengue fever has been designed. The task was focused on developing stratification based on environmental (historical and current), viral, social and ent...

As per the International Health Regulations (2005), all airports and seaports are to be kept free from risk of infection through any pathogen transmitted by vectors, thereby resulting in public health hazard. Therefore, international premises vector breeding along with 400 perimeter areas surrounding seaports. To assess receptivity Vector i.e. Aedesaegypti (Vector for Dengue, Yellow fever, Zika...

Background: Dengue is the most widely distributed viral disease in world. Outbreak are usually seasonal, peaking during and after rainy seasons. Entomological surveillance important determining factors related to transmission order prioritize areas seasons for vector control. The objectives of study were determine larval indices aedes, assess seasonal trend major breeding site Aedes mosquitoes....

Assessments of spatial risk of exposure to vector-borne pathogens that combine vector and human disease data are needed for areas encompassing large tracts of public land with low population bases. We addressed this need for West Nile virus (WNV) disease in the northern Colorado Front Range by developing not only a spatial model for entomological risk of exposure to Culex tarsalis WNV vectors a...

Transmission dynamics is an important indicator for malaria control and elimination. As we move closer to eliminating in Sub-Saharan Africa (sSA), transmission indices with higher resolution (genomic approaches) will complement our current measurements of transmission. Most the present programmatic knowledge patterns are derived from assessments epidemiologic clinical data, such as case counts,...

Dengue is a viral disease caused by a flavivirus that is transmitted by mosquitoes of the genus Aedes. There is currently no specific treatment or commercial vaccine for its control and prevention; therefore, mosquito population control is the only alternative for preventing the occurrence of dengue. For this reason, entomological surveillance is recommended by World Health Organization (WHO) t...
