Through participatory processes of all stakeholders, an appropriate ecosystem management intervention was defined. Entomological surveys were carried out to measure the impact of the intervention on vector densities. The clusters were located in neighborhoods of differing geography and economic, cultural and social aspects.
#CM LAUNCHER 3D TEMA SEGURA TRIAL#
We completed an intervention study using a cluster randomized trial design in 20 randomly selected 'clusters' in Salto. One of the cities at higher risk of local dengue transmission is Salto, a border city with heavy traffic from dengue endemic areas. The reported dengue cases in the country are all imported from surrounding countries.
Uruguay is located at the southern border of Aedes aegypti distribution on the South American sub-continent. Improved dengue fever prevention through innovative intervention methods in the city of Salto, Uruguay.īasso, César GarcÃa da Rosa, Elsa Romero, Sonnia González, Cristina Lairihoy, Rosario Roche, Ingrid Caffera, Ruben M da Rosa, Ricardo Calfani, Marisel Alfonso-Sierra, Eduardo Petzold, Max Kroeger, Axel Sommerfeld, Johannes A larger sample size is needed to obtain a statistically significant difference. The observed low vector density limits the potential reduction due to the intervention. The intervention evidenced opportunities for cost savings and reducing dengue vector densities (although not to statistically significant levels). Conclusions The response from the community and national programme managers was encouraging. Additional vector breeding places were large water tanks they were either altered so that they could not hold water any more or covered so that oviposition by mosquitoes could not take place. Residents collected the abundant small water holding containers and the Ministry of Public Health and the Municipality of Salto were responsible for collecting and eliminating them.
