“…Similarly, Aedes aegypti , the major vector of arboviruses, could be reduced by environmental management. This urban species breeds in many small uncontaminated water bodies [93]. In many cases where piped water is lacking or unreliable, water-storage containers become major larval habitats for Ae.…”

The cross-cutting contribution of the end of neglected tropical diseases to the sustainable development goals

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) call for an integrated response, the kind that has defined Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) efforts in the past decade.NTD interventions have the greatest relevance for SDG3, the health goal, where the focus on equity, and its commitment to reaching people in need of health services, wherever they may live and whatever their circumstances, is fundamentally aligned with the target of Universal Health Coverage. NTD interventions, however, also affect and are affected by many of the other development areas covered under the 2030 Agenda. Strategies such as mass drug administration or the programmatic integration of NTD and WASH activities (SDG6) are driven by effective global partnerships (SDG17). Intervention against the NTDs can also have an impact on poverty (SDG1) and hunger (SDG2), can improve education (SDG4), work and economic growth (SDG8), thereby reducing inequalities (SDG10). The community-led distribution of donated medicines to more than 1 billion people reinforces women’s empowerment (SDG5), logistics infrastructure (SDG9) and non-discrimination against disability (SDG16). Interventions to curb mosquito-borne NTDs contribute to the goals of urban sustainability (SDG11) and resilience to climate change (SDG13), while the safe use of insecticides supports the goal of sustainable ecosystems (SDG15). Although indirectly, interventions to control water- and animal-related NTDs can facilitate the goals of small-scale fishing (SDG14) and sustainable hydroelectricity and biofuels (SDG7).NTDs proliferate in less developed areas in countries across the income spectrum, areas where large numbers of people have little or no access to adequate health care, clean water, sanitation, housing, education, transport and information. This scoping review assesses how in this context, ending the epidemic of the NTDs can impact and improve our prospects of attaining the SDGs.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s40249-017-0288-0) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…albopictus preferred to oviposit in water with leaf infusion compared to water only, and that egg oviposition density was higher in the Fall than in the Summer [32]. Chitolina et al [33] studied oviposition preference among Ae. aegypti between sewage water and clean water, and found that females had no preference for oviposition choice or and experienced no difference in oviposition success between sewage water and clean water.…”

27 Background 28 Three arthorpod-borne viruses (arboviruses) causing human disease have been the focus 29 of a large number of studies in the Americas since 2013 due to their global spread and 30 epidemiological impacts: Zika, dengue, and chikungunya viruses. A large proportion of 31 infections by these viruses are asymptomatic. However, all three viruses are associated with 32 moderate to severe health consequences in a small proportion of cases. Two mosquito species, 33 Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, are among the world's most prominent arboviral vectors, 34 and are known primary vectors for all three viruses in the Americas. 35 Objectives 2 36 This review summarizes the state of the entomological literature surrounding the biology 37 and ecology of vectors of Zika, dengue and chikungunya viruses and factors affecting virus 38 transmission. The rationale of the review was to elucidate consensus and discord between 39 studies, and guide future research based on identified knowledge gaps. 40 Results 41 A total of 196 studies were included in the scoping review after initial screening and 42 subsequent exclusion of out-of-scope studies, secondary data publications, duplicate records, and 43 studies unavailable in English language. 44 Key findings 45 Temperature and humidity have the strongest impact on mosquito distribution and 46 dynamics, development of immatures and arborviral infection rates. Low socioeconomic status 47 and related factors, including poor infrastructure, inconsistent access to water, and high 48 household resident density, have been consistently associated with arbovirus vector occurrence. 49 Effects of interspecific competition on arboviral vector species is currently poorly understood. 50 Vector competence for Zika virus is well established for Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus. 51 Information on Zika virus vector transmission dynamics is sparse in contrast to the wealth of 52 research available for dengue and chikungunya viruses. 53 Conclusions 54Based on the internationally recognized urgency of Zika virus infection as a public health 55 concern, further research on arbovirus vectors and transmission dynamics is of pressing need. 56 57

“…The ability of Aedes mosquitoes to accommodate in various ranges of environmental conditions are very fascinating [9]. Aedes mosquitoes can choose any alternative breeding sites to oviposition when the ideal containers are eliminated from the favourable environment [18].Some studies also relate the ability of Aedes mosquitoes to survive in various environmental conditions with the effect of microbial activity presence in the body [14,19].…”

An assessment towards potential breeding sites container was conducted in the UniversitiTeknologi MARA, peripheral areas.Sample was collected by dipping identified as positive out of total 147 containers surveyed. highest number of positive container container, vase and old furniture (9%), bottle (6%) and water dispenser (3%). Kg TersusunBatu 3 showed the highest number of positive container (N=16), foll Tapah Road (N=12), Taman Tapah (N=4) and UiTMTapah (N=2). The number of albopictus (85%) collected was h (15%).
