Preventive residual insecticide applications successfully controlled Aedes aegypti in Yucatan, Mexico [PDF]
Insecticide-based approaches remain a key pillar for Aedes-borne virus (ABV, dengue, chikungunya, Zika) control, yet they are challenged by the limited effect of traditional outdoor insecticide campaigns responding to reported arboviral cases and by the ...
