Simplified models of vector control impact upon malaria transmission by zoophagic mosquitoes.

As a vector control program to control Chagas disease in Guatemala, residual spraying of Rhodnius prolixus and Triatoma dimidiata was performed, and its impact was measured in

By 2002 the health ministry of La Rioja reactivated the vector control activities, and by 2004, the Government of La Rioja approved a 5 year programme for the control of Chagas

Finally, since vector control was effective in curbing Chagas transmission in Brazil and since vaccines cannot be used at the moment to prevent the current forms of

The National Program for the Control of Visceral Leishmaniasis bases its strategy on the detection and treatment of human cases, control of domestic reservoirs, and vector

The immediate objectives of malaria control include (a) reduction of malaria transmission levels in epidemic areas, (b) reduction of malaria morbidity and mortality,

and of the difference between initial and target models (this dif- ference is calculated by using the least-absolute vector deviation and is approximately 40% when compared to

The simplified full model is constructed using the finite element method, and three different bases are used to construct the reduced-order models: LIN-basis (composed by the

be examined and, once the diagnose is confirmed, an epidemiologic investigation must be performed and control measures put into practice, according to the norms by the Ministry
