Article Synopsis
- This study examines pesticide diversity and usage behaviors among papaya and chili producers in Oaxaca, Mexico, focusing on acute poisoning symptoms caused by exposure.
- Researchers conducted surveys to gather sociodemographic data, production system characteristics, and users' knowledge and practices regarding pesticides.
- Key findings reveal that papaya producers are younger and manage larger farms, both groups have insufficient training in pesticide handling, rely heavily on toxic insecticides and fungicides, and report various acute poisoning symptoms, raising concerns about long-term health risks.
Dengue virus (DENV) evolution has had a significant impact on disease pathogenesis, virulence, and epidemiology in Mexico. Novel genotypic variation in DENV serotypes and genotypes may influence the magnitude and severity of dengue epidemics, as evidenced by 2009 data from Veracruz State. The data presented herein is related to the publication entitled "Epidemiological Implications of the Genetic Diversification of Dengue Virus (DENV) Serotypes and Genotypes in Mexico" [1].

Molecular analyses of dengue serotypes have revealed extensive genetic diversification and the emergence of new genotypes in Brazil (DENV-4 genotype I) and elsewhere in tropical and subtropical America. The goal of the present study is to assess the extent to which the adventitious introduction of DENV genotypes and their increasing genetic diversity affects dengue epidemiology in Mexico.
