Public health institutions with sectorized structure and low integration among field teams, old-fashioned practices such as paper-based storage system, poorly qualified agents have limited ability to conduct accurate surveillance design effective timely interventions. Herein, we describe the steps taken by Zoonosis Control Center of Foz do Iguaçu (CCZ-Foz) in last 23 years move from an archaic a modern program embracing zoonotic diseases, venomous animal injuries, vector-borne diseases...
Currently, DENV transmitted primarily by Aedes aegypti affects approximately one in three people annually. The spatio-temporal heterogeneity of vector infestation and the intensity arbovirus transmission require surveillance capable predicting an outbreak. In this work, we used data from 4 years reported dengue cases entomological indicators adult collected 3500 traps installed city Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, to evaluate spatial temporal association between occurrence cases. Entomological (TPI,...
Arboviruses, such as dengue (DENV), zika (ZIKV), and chikungunya (CHIKV), constitute a growing urban public health threat. Focusing on Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, their primary vectors, is crucial for mitigation. While traditional immature-stage mosquito surveillance has limitations, capturing adult mosquitoes through traps yields more accurate data disease transmission. However, deploying presents logistical financial challenges, demonstrating effective temporal predictions but lacking...
In Brazil, the most common method of controlling outbreaks arbovirus is by use chemical sprays, which kill insect vector, Aedes aegypti. The main objective this study was to evaluate resistance Ae. aegypti insecticide, malathion, in situ. location municipality Foz do Iguaçu, state Paraná, Brazil.Ultra-low-volume (ULV) fogging equipment used, vehicle, apply insecticide situ, and mosquito populations after treatment were compared with those control areas. strains collected from Rockefeller...
Arboviruses transmitted by Aedes aegypti in urban environments have spread rapidly worldwide, causing great impacts on public health. The development of reliable and timely alert signals is among the most important steps designing accurate surveillance systems for vector-borne diseases. In July September 2017, we conducted a pilot study to improve an existing integrated system using entomo-virological prioritize areas conduct active searches individuals with arbovirus infection symptoms. Foz...
Introduction Although estimate models have been proposed to determine free-roaming (both stray and semi-domiciled) dog populations, date, no study has focused on the three major border areas of Brazil. Therefore, present assessed population Foz do Iguaçu, a far-west Brazilian city located in three-border area (Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay), which is considered among top five tourist destinations. Methods Capture-release sampling was performed phases with 6-month interval 10-day duration each...
the Building Infestation Index (BII) uses Rapid Assay of Larval for Aedes aegypti (LIRAa) to express relationship between positive and surveyed properties. We evaluated LIRAa BII climate variables dengue cases in Foz do Iguaçu municipality, Paraná.Spearman's correlations mean precipitation, temperature, BII, (time lag).positive cases, temperature at two months. Weak correlation precipitation three months.LIRAa correlate with cases.
Human cases of dengue virus based on the National Dengue Control Plan were compared with molecular detection in trapped mosquitoes, verifying prediction and efficacy potentials vector control between two methodologies a city three endemic frontiers. Molecular mosquitoes was significantly higher than human (p = 0.0435). Thus, could be used as an early indicator to help prevent more dengue.
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) continues to spread worldwide as a pandemic, and significant portion of the infected population may remain asymptomatic. Given this, five surveys were carried out between May September 2020 with total 3585 volunteers in municipality Foz do Iguaçu, State Paraná, triple border region Brazil/Argentina/Paraguay. Five months after first infection, re-analysed for production IgG anti-Spike anti-RBD-Spike, addition analyses cellular...
