The dengue fever is a major public health problem in the world. In Brazil, in 2015, there were 1,534,932 cases, being 20,320 cases of severe form, and 811 deaths related to this disease. The distribution of Aedes aegypti, the vector, is extensive. Recently, Zika and Chikungunya viruses had arisen, sharing the same vector as dengue and became a huge public health issue. Without specific treatment, it is urgently required as an effective vector control. This article is focused on reviewing vector control strategies, their effectiveness, viability and economical impact. Among all, the Sterile Insect Technique is highlighted as the best option to be adopted in Brazil, once it is largely effectively used in the USA and Mexico for plagues related to agribusiness.
登革热是全球主要的公共卫生问题。2015年在巴西,有1,534,932例病例,其中20,320例为重症病例,811人死于该疾病。其病媒埃及伊蚊分布广泛。最近,寨卡病毒和基孔肯雅病毒出现了,与登革热共用相同病媒,成为一个巨大的公共卫生问题。由于没有特效治疗方法,迫切需要进行有效的病媒控制。本文重点综述病媒控制策略及其有效性、可行性和经济影响。其中,绝育昆虫技术被视为巴西可采用的最佳选项,因为它在美国和墨西哥已大量有效地用于农业综合企业相关害虫防治中。
