Systematic review: Yellow fever control through environmental management mechanisms

Abstract

Over the past few decades, there has been a growing number of infections with arboviruses, with yellow fever becoming an evermore significant threat to global health security [1].Yellow fever is caused by a flavivirus (Flaviviridae family) which is mainly transmitted by Aedes aegypti (also known as 'yellow fever mosquito') [2]. As mosquitoes do not only feed on human beings (thus resulting in an urban transmission cycle) but also on monkeys, there is always a pathogenic

Protocolo de vigilancia en salud pública. Fiebre amarilla

“…La fase de intoxicación es la final, en el 15 % de los infectados, los síntomas son específicos y graves, con recrudescencia de la fiebre, aumento de la cefalea y la mialgia, aparece un signo típico de la enfermedad que es la ictericia, puede haber sangrado, disfunción renal con oliguria, frecuentemente se observa signo de Faget, que es una disociación entre el pulso y la temperatura. Las complicaciones como disfunción cardiovascular y deterioro neurológico con convulsiones pueden desencadenar una falla multiorgánica que causa de muerte (26,28,29).…”

“…As an infection transmitted via the bite of the infected Aedes species of mosquito, YF should be controlled via vectors [ 3 ]. In fact, vector control approaches are usually holistic in areas where YF is endemic, striving to include chemical, biological, and environmental methods [ 4 ]. However, most control programs are challenged by one or multiple variables, such as environmental change, insecticide resistance, population growth, urbanization, and climate change.…”
