Abstract

The study designed a scaled-up community-led Aedes control intervention and assessed it for its capacity to reduce dengue in Girardot, Colombia. Reported dengue cases, and associated factors were analysed from Colombian disease surveillance systems data sets. The differences in dengue incidence among scaling-up phases (pre-implementation vs sustainability) and between treatment groups (intervention and control areas) were modelled. Evidence was found in favour of the intervention, although to maximise impact the scaling-up of the intervention should continue until it covers the remaining sectors. Aedes aegypti is the principal vector of dengue, chikungukya, Zika and yellow fever and is found on all continents except Antarctica.
