Community Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices About Malaria: Insights from a Northwestern Colombian Endemic Locality.

Malaria prevention and control programs are mainly oriented to vector control, timely diagnosis and adequate treatment. Malaria transmission is influenced by several factors, including biological and social aspects. Thus, it is relevant to consider community beliefs and practices to ensure sustainable prevention and control strategies.

Evidence of endogenous non-retroviral RNA virus sequences into the genome and transcriptome of the malaria vector Anopheles darlingi.

The characterization of non-retroviral integrated RNA virus sequences (NIRVS) in mosquitoes has emerged as a significant area of research that could yield insight into virus-host interactions. This study aimed to characterize NIRVS in the Anopheles darlingi reference genome and identify putative transcribed NIRVS in field-collected mosquitoes from Colombia. The An.

A Systematic Review on the Viruses of Mosquitoes: The Potential Importance for Public Health.

mosquitoes are the vectors of , the etiological agent of malaria. In addition, and are the main vectors of the O'nyong-nyong virus. However, research on the viruses carried by is scarce; thus, the possible transmission of viruses by is still unexplored.

Spatial Analysis of Dengue Clusters at Department, Municipality and Local Scales in the Southwest of Colombia, 2014-2019.

Dengue is an arbovirus transmitted by mosquitoes of the genus and is one of the 15 main public health problems in the world, including Colombia. Where limited financial resources create a problem for management, there is a need for the department to prioritize target areas for public health implementation. This study focuses on a spatio-temporal analysis to determine the targeted area to manage the public health problems related to dengue cases.
