Integrated surveillance of leishmaniases vectors in the Americas

Sumario:We developed integrated vector surveillance (IVS) proposals, both for cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) and visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in the Americas, based on eco-epidemiological studies conducted by researchers of the Leishmaniasis Research Network of Argentina-REDILA. For CL, the transmission was explained in the framework of the edge effect, the increase of vectors and risk of exposure at ecotones and environmental interfaces, and typified as ephemeral, transient, or permanent edges. This approach supports a cost-effective IVS strategy for early warning of CL outbreaks, through an environmental modification alert network, which includes multiple sources of information and actors.
