Cities across the USA are implementing urban policies to mitigate unwanted effects of urbanization. These policies may inadvertently promote the proliferation of mosquito vectors. Limited evidence exists regarding how urban policies impact arbovirus transmission risk. Models can evaluate public health interventions aimed at reducing arbovirus-related risks caused by urban policies.
美国各地的城市正在实施城市政策,以减轻城市化的不良影响。这些政策可能会无意中促进蚊子传播媒介的扩散。关于城市政策如何影响虫媒病毒传播风险的证据有限。模型可用于评估旨在降低城市政策导致的与虫媒病毒相关风险的公共卫生干预措施。
