Integration of house-screening and long-lasting insecticidal nets, known as insecticide treated screening (ITS), can provide simple, safe, and low-tech Aedes aegypti control. Cluster randomised controlled trials in two endemic localities for Ae. aegypti of south Mexico, show that ITS conferred both immediate and sustained impact on indoor-female Ae. aegypti infestations. Such encouraging results require further validation with studies quantifying more epidemiologically-related endpoints, including arbovirus infection in Ae. Aegypti.application/pdfenZIKADISEASE PREVENTIONMOSQUITO BORNE DISEASESVECTOR CONTROLAPPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGYECOSYSTEMS APPROACHINSECTICIDESHOUSING CONDITIONSMEXICONORTH AND CENTRAL AMERICAARBOVIRUSJournal Article (peer-reviewed)
