“…Nesta avaliação histórica, observou-se que Bos (1992) estudou os problemas originados da interface entre ambiente e desenvolvimento que necessitavam ser abordados no contexto do controle de vetores, visto que, segundo o autor, a exploração dos recursos naturais e as mudanças demográficas colocaram vários vetores como fatores biológicos de risco no ambiente para a saúde humana.…”

Devido a atual preocupação mundial com o alcance dos Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável, objetivando vidas sustentáveis e saudáveis, torna-se relevante evidenciar a situação e a direção dos estudos nessa área. Este trabalho analisou a consonância das publicações científicas, indexadas em bases de dados mundiais, num período de 25 anos, sobre o tema Saúde e Desenvolvimento Sustentável. Verificou-se um aumento na quantidade de publicações a partir de 2012, com grande diversidade de eixos temáticos. Porém, temas como segurança alimentar, agricultura sustentável, cidades sustentáveis e saudáveis, sociedades pacíficas e inclusivas e educação ambiental foram pouco explorados, evidenciando a necessidade de maior articulação entre esses temas e as ações em saúde, na busca pelo desenvolvimento sustentável e saudável.

“…The precarious conditions of housing, water supply and garbage collection in urban areas result in the creation of new breeding sites for the mosquito. Although dengue is an urban disease that is mainly observed in overpopulated areas, outbreaks in less populated rural areas have been reported frequently (Bos 1992, Erenkranz 1971, Mehendale et al 1991. Nogueira et al (2007) emphasized that constant improvement of medical services for the rapid and correct evaluation of dengue cases is currently crucial in Brazil in order to reduce the impact of the disease and the number of fatal cases.…”

“…Community-based, participatory, gender equitable mosquito-vector control practices with health promotion and supportive multisectoral government policies across health, environment, education, gender, and urban planning are required for successful dengue control [ 9 , 12 , 50 , 58 , 105 , 120 ]. In 2021, a biological control method of infecting Ae.…”

“…Environment vector control practices include: environmental management (destruction of vector habitats, street cleaning, removal of discarded tyres); modification (waste systems, piped water, protecting water infrastructure); and manipulation (protecting uncovered water sources and containers, i.e. covered/face-down water storage containers); and mosquito-proof housing to prevent biting (protective screens/doors, no open guttering) [ 9 , 12 , 50 , 58 , 59 , 62 , 67 , 94 , 120 ]. Historically, women and health workers in LMICs had limited roles in community leadership and decision-making, and therefore in environmental vector control [ 42 , 101 , 110 ] due to socio-cultural factors e.g.…”

Women’s participation in the prevention and control of dengue using environmental methods in the global south: a qualitative meta-synthesis

Background Dengue, a mosquito-borne viral disease, causes significant mortality and morbidity in low- to middle-income countries. A body of research indicates that women can be effective in implementing vector borne disease control, but they still face inequitable opportunities for participation, leadership and decision-making in the execution of dengue prevention and vector control programmes. Yet implementing informal environmental management practices to prevent mosquito vector breeding forms part of their domestic household responsibilities. Understanding the enablers and barriers to women’s equitable roles with men in formal and informal disease prevention, and the benefits of their participation could help to increase their role and may be a contributing factor to reducing disease rates. The objective of this qualitative meta-synthesis was to synthesise evidence about women’s roles in dengue prevention and control in the global south and generate insights around the barriers, enablers, and benefits. Methods Eight databases were searched from inception to 7th December 2020. One investigator independently reviewed all titles and abstracts for relevant articles. Grey literature was searched using 34 websites of global health and international development organisations. Results A total of 18 articles representing qualitative research or the qualitative component of mixed methods studies from Latin American and Caribbean (n = 8), Asia (n = 9), and one international review were included in the meta-synthesis. Relevant scholarship from Africa was lacking. This meta-synthesis revealed five unique themes surrounding women’s participation, seven categories of barriers, six of enablers, four health, well-being and social benefits for individuals, and four for communities . Conclusion An analysis of the results confirmed that women’s participation in dengue prevention was not gender equitable, gender sensitive nor transformative although women are the primary human resource for household and community-based prevention. Women demonstrated specific qualities aiding successful implementation. Corrective action is urgently needed to shift unhelpful gender norms, and empower women into leadership and decision-making roles.
