Examining the Intersection between Gender, Community Health Workers, and Vector Control Policies: A Text Mining Literature Review.

Gender intersects with healthcare systems; this is equally true for arboviral vector control efforts. However, there is as yet no comprehensive analysis as to how vector control is gendered.
