| dengue occurrence relations and serology: cross-sectional analysis of results from the guerrero state, mexico, baseline for a cluster-randomised controlled trial of community mobilisation for dengue prevention. | the mexican arm of the camino verde trial of community mobilisation for dengue prevention covered three coastal regions of guerrero state: acapulco, costa grande and costa chica. a baseline cross-sectional survey provided data for community mobilisation and for adapting the intervention design to concrete conditions in the intervention areas. | 2017 | 28699560 |
| aedes aegypti breeding ecology in guerrero: cross-sectional study of mosquito breeding sites from the baseline for the camino verde trial in mexico. | understanding the breeding patterns of aedes aegypti in households and the factors associated with infestation are important for implementing vector control. the baseline survey of a cluster randomised controlled trial of community mobilisation for dengue prevention in mexico and nicaragua collected information about the containers that are the main breeding sites, identified possible actions to reduce breeding, and examined factors associated with household infestation. this paper describes fin ... | 2017 | 28699559 |
| "where we put little fish in the water there are no mosquitoes:" a cross-sectional study on biological control of the aedes aegypti vector in 90 coastal-region communities of guerrero, mexico. | in the mexican state of guerrero, some households place fish in water storage containers to prevent the development of mosquito larvae. studies have shown that larvivorous fish reduce larva count in household water containers, but there is a lack of evidence about whether the use of fish is associated with a reduction in dengue virus infection. we used data from the follow up survey of the camino verde cluster randomised controlled trial of community mobilisation to reduce dengue risk to study t ... | 2017 | 28699557 |
| pupal productivity in rainy and dry seasons: findings from the impact survey of a randomised controlled trial of dengue prevention in guerrero, mexico. | the follow-up survey of a cluster-randomised controlled trial of evidence-based community mobilisation for dengue control in nicaragua and mexico included entomological information from the 2012 rainy and dry seasons. we used data from the mexican arm of the trial to assess the impact of the community action on pupal production of the dengue vector aedes aegypti in both rainy and dry seasons. | 2017 | 28699555 |
| household costs for personal protection against mosquitoes: secondary outcomes from a randomised controlled trial of dengue prevention in guerrero state, mexico. | dengue is a serious public health issue that affects households in endemic areas in terms of health and also economically, imposing costs for prevention and treatment of cases. the camino verde cluster-randomised controlled trial in mexico and nicaragua assessed the impact of evidence-based community engagement in dengue prevention. the mexican arm of the trial was conducted in 90 randomly selected communities in three coastal regions of guerrero state. this study reports an analysis of a second ... | 2017 | 28699550 |
| use and acceptance of long lasting insecticidal net screens for dengue prevention in acapulco, guerrero, mexico. | dengue, recognized by the who as the most important mosquito-borne viral disease in the world, is a growing problem. currently, the only effective way of preventing dengue is vector control. standard methods have shown limited effect, and there have been calls to develop new integrated vector management approaches. one novel tool, protecting houses with long lasting insecticidal screens on doors and windows, is being trialled in a cluster randomised controlled trial by a joint uady/who tdr/idrc ... | 2014 | 25124670 |
| community participation in the prevention and control of dengue: the patio limpio strategy in mexico. | community participation is vital to prevent and control the spread of dengue in latin america. initiatives such as the integrated management strategy for dengue prevention and control (ims-dengue) and integrated vector management (ivm) incorporate social mobilisation and behavioural change at the community level as part of a wider strategy to control dengue. these strategies aim to improve the efficacy, cost-effectiveness, environmental impact and sustainability of vector control strategies. com ... | 2012 | 22668443 |
