Control of Aedes aegypti in a remote Guatemalan community vulnerable to dengue, chikungunya and Zika virus: Prospective evaluation of an integrated intervention of web-based health worker training in vector control, low-cost ecological ovillantas, and community engagement

摘要: Objective: To study the effectiveness of an integrated intervention health worker training, a low-cost ecological mosquito ovitrap, and community engagement on Aedes spp. control over 10 months in 2015 urban remote Guatemala at risk dengue, chikungunya Zika virus transmission. Methods: We implemented three-component consisting of: web-based training local personnel vector control, cluster-randomized assignment ovillantas or standard ovitraps to capture aegypti eggs, promote participation members understanding maintenance for control. The was collaboration with Ministry Health’s Vector Control Programme, international National Institute Public Health Mexico. Findings: Eighty percent 25 enrolled programme received accreditation their improved knowledge Significantly more eggs were trapped by  than month (42 week) period (t=5.2577; p<0.05). Among both workers, levels knowledge, interest, trapping increased. Recommendations enhancing sustaining identified. Conclusion: Our proved beneficial this mosquito-borne diseases such as chikungunya, Zika. combination ovillanta destroy second generation mosquitoes, ensured project met needs fostered community, which can help improve sustainability. methodology may be modified target other species Culex , should it established that mosquitoes carry addition .
