(2014). Ecological, biological and social dimensions of dengue vector breeding in five urban settings of Latin America: a multi-country study. BMC Infectious Diseases, 14(38), 1-13. doi:10.1186/1471-2334-14-38http://hdl.handle.net/10625/52506According to this and similar studies in Asia, dedicated, targeted vector management can make a difference in terms of reducing dengue vector abundance. This multi-centre study aimed to identify key factors associated with vector breeding as a basis for improving targeted intervention strategies. Findings indicate there is a need for complementing larval surveys with occasional pupal surveys (conducted during the wet season); for identifying and subsequently targeting productive container types; and a need to raise public awareness about useful and effective interventions in container types specific to their area.Text1 digital file (p. 1-13)application/pdfenDENGUEAEDES AEGYPTIVECTOR BREEDING SITESLATIN AMERICAURBAN ENVIRONMENTDISEASE VECTORSMOSQUITO BORNE DISEASESDISEASE PREVENTIONEPIDEMIOLOGYENTOMOLOGYCLIMATE SENSITIVE DISEASESJournal Article (peer-reviewed)
