Assessing Zika virus transmission dynamics and mitigation strategies. A multidisciplinary approach.
Resumen
The project took place in three Latin American countries that have different epidemiological and ecological settings of Zika virus transmission: Colombia, Argentina and Ecuador; with the objective of characterizing the ecological transmission dynamics of Zika virus (ZIKV) and designing integrated intervention approaches. The report provides country-specific information regarding project implementation. The multi-country regression analysis identified several factors associated with an increased density of adult female Aedes mosquitoes, which represent important risk factors for arboviral disease transmission that can be considered in the design of disease prevention and control strategies. The report includes analysis and outputs from the project.
