| genetic relationships among populations of aedes aegypti from uruguay and northeastern argentina inferred from issr-pcr data. | aedes aegypti (l.) (diptera: culicidae), the main vector of yellow fever and dengue viruses, was eradicated from argentina between 1955 and 1963, but reinvaded the country in 1986. in uruguay, the species was reintroduced in 1997. in this study we used highly polymorphic inter-simple sequence repeats (issr) markers to analyse the genetic structure of ae. aegypti populations from uruguay and northeastern argentina to identify possible colonization patterns of the vector. overall genetic different ... | 2010 | 20626627 |
| scaling up of an innovative intervention to reduce risk of dengue, chikungunya, and zika transmission in uruguay in the framework of an intersectoral approach with and without community participation. | to contribute to the prevention of dengue, chikungunya, and zika, a process of scaling up an innovative intervention to reduce aedes aegypti habitats, was carried out in the city of salto (uruguay) based on a transdisciplinary analysis of the eco-bio-social determinants. the intervention in one-third of the city included the distributions of plastic bags for all households to collect all discarded water containers that were recollected by the ministry of health and the municipality vector contro ... | 2017 | 28820690 |
