“…Several neglected diseases are arboviruses, that is, viral diseases transmitted through the saliva of contaminated arthropods [10]. Thus, they spread with worrisome epidemiological speed because of human exposure to the insect vectors [11, 12]. In some cases, a single vector can transmit more than one disease, as is the case of the vector Aedes aegypti that may transmit dengue, Zika, and chikungunya.…”

The termneglected diseasesrefers to a group of infections caused by various classes of pathogens, including protozoa, viruses, bacteria, and helminths, most often affecting impoverished populations without adequate sanitation living in close contact with infectious vectors and domestic animals. The fact that these diseases were historically not considered priorities for pharmaceutical companies made the available treatments options obsolete, precarious, outdated, and in some cases nonexistent. The use of plants for medicinal, religious, and cosmetic purposes has a history dating back to the emergence of humanity. One of the principal fractions of chemical substances found in plants are essential oils (EOs). EOs consist of a mixture of volatile and hydrophobic secondary metabolites with marked odors, composed primarily of terpenes and phenylpropanoids. They have great commercial value and were widely used in traditional medicine, by phytotherapy practitioners, and in public health services for the treatment of several conditions, including neglected diseases. In addition to the recognized cytoprotective and antioxidative activities of many of these compounds, larvicidal, insecticidal, and antiparasitic activities have been associated with the induction of oxidative stress in parasites, increasing levels of nitric oxide in the infected host, reducing parasite resistance to reactive oxygen species, and increasing lipid peroxidation, ultimately leading to serious damage to cell membranes. The hydrophobicity of these compounds also allows them to cross the membranes of parasites as well as the blood-brain barrier, collaborating in combat at the second stage of several of these infections. Based on these considerations, the aim of this review was to present an update of the potential of EOs, their fractions, and their chemical constituents, against some neglected diseases, including American and African trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis, and arboviruses, specially dengue.

“…Based on analysis of secondary data and application of the k-means and the kernel density curve methods for evaluating clusters, an instrument was proposed for planning Aedes aegypti control actions in Niterói, RJ, 4 and Natal, RN, 7 respectively.…”

“…We suggest that other area stratification methods be tested, such as including secondary data, [7][8] especially socio-economic data. 8 Other forms of series sequencing (percentile) can be tested, such as the use of natural breaks, standard deviation or equal interval.…”

“…Indicators such as the human development index (HDI) and the Gini index, schooling and income brackets, and degree of sanitation, can also be tested and validated. Moreover, it is of fundamental importance, to the extent that control actions are based on the stratification model proposed here, to modulate responses in stages, 7 in addition to mechanisms for evaluating the effectiveness and planning of feedback on the parameters used.…”

“…3 In view of the weaknesses of the current dengue combat model, studies aimed at defining strategic intervention areas have gained importance, using cluster analysis techniques from a spatial perspective. [4][5][6][7][8] The common stem of these studies consists of categorizing areas with known risk factors and identifying clusters, in order to target intensified control actions.…”

Objective: to present a methodological sequence resulting from multicriteria analysis indicating areas with different Aedes aegypti intervention priorities. Methods: a Female Aedes Displacement Index (IDFAedes) was created, consolidated according to urban blocks, representing interaction between population densities, Aedes aegypti oviposition sites and dengue case notifications; a graphical model (Model Builder) was developed with QGIS software using the Kernel mapping algorithm and IDFAedes as the weighting factor. Results: stratification for the evaluated example-Anápolis, GO, Brazil-indicated intervention priority levels for urban blocks-17.5%, very low priority; 37.3%, low; 33.6%, medium; 10.2%, high; 1.4%, very high-; blocks with medium, high, and very high priority accounted for 22.53,% of the territory in the area. Conclusion: the spatial block method proposed in this article can be included in health surveillance programs for intensified targeting and planning of control actions.
