Abstract
A multi-country analysis based on entomological and socioeconomic data collected in three countries identified risk factors for Aedes mosquito density as a proxy for arbovirus transmission risk. Using computer simulation, the project aimed to identify a range of integrated Zika virus (ZIKV) intervention strategies and assess their comparative effectiveness, economic impact and cost-effectiveness. It was carried out in Latin American countries that have different epidemiological and ecological settings of Zika virus transmission (Colombia, Argentina and Ecuador), with the objective of characterizing the ecological transmission dynamics of ZIKV and designing integrated intervention approaches.
