Effectiveness of Aedes-borne infectious disease control in Latin America and the Caribbean region: A scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus are primary vectors of emerging or re-emerging arboviruses that threaten public health worldwide. Many efforts have been made to develop interventions to control these Aedes species populations. Still, countries in the Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region struggle to create/design/develop sustainable and effective control strategies. This scoping review synthesises evidence concerning the effectiveness of Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus prevention and control interventions performed in LAC (2000-2021). The findings can be used to evaluate, compare and develop more effective control strategies.
