Control and Management of Vector-Borne Diseases in Disaster Conditions
Disasters are a set of unexpected situations that occur as a result of natural misadventure or human manipulations. Depending on the type, time, and location of the events, the insect population causing vector-borne diseases is affected, which may eventually lead to widespread epidemics. Parasitic diseases such as malaria, leishmaniosis, arboviral diseases such as dengue fever, West Nile enceph...
متن کاملMosquito behavior and vector control.
Effective indoor residual spraying against malaria vectors depends on whether mosquitoes rest indoors (i.e., endophilic behavior). This varies among species and is affected by insecticidal irritancy. Exophilic behavior has evolved in certain populations exposed to prolonged spraying programs. Optimum effectiveness of insecticide-treated nets presumably depends on vectors biting at hours when mo...
متن کاملUsing Cell Phones for Mosquito Vector Surveillance and Control
Novel, low-cost approaches to improving prevention and control of vector-borne diseases, such as mosquito-borne dengue and malaria, are needed in resource-constrained environments. The Chaak application supports the use of cell phones for field capture and rapid transfer of mosquito vector surveillance data to a central database. The cell phones exploit existing communication infrastructure, in...
متن کاملVector-borne disease surveillance and natural disasters.
Natural disasters, such as hurricanes and floods, are frequently followed by a proliferation of mosquitoes and requests from residents and government agencies for widespread application of insecticides. However, nuisance mosquito species, which often require emergency control measures, rarely present a threat to public health (1). Natural disasters in the continental United States have rarely b...
متن کاملModeling and Optimal Control Applied to a Vector Borne Disease
A model with six mutually-exclusive compartments related to Dengue disease is presented. In this model there are three vector control tools: insecticides (larvicide and adulticide) and mechanical control. The problem is studied using an Optimal Control (OC) approach. The human data for the model is based on the Cape Verde Dengue outbreak. Some control measures are simulated and their consequenc...
