Vector Control

Vector control efforts for Aedes mosquitoes, that transmit dengue and chikungunya, and Culex mosquitoes, vectors for the West Nile virus, are key interventions. These public health measures may reduce triatomine vectors and prevent the spread of Chagas Disease in Yucatan and other affected regions in southeastern Mexico. Deworming and intestinal parasite control measures are still needed in preschool and school-aged children in Mexico.
