Background: Yaws is a substantial cause of chronic disfiguring ulcers in children in at least 14 countries in the tropics. WHO’s newly adopted strategy for yaws eradication uses a single round of mass azithromycin treatment followed by targeted treatment programmes, and data from pilot studies have shown a short-term significant reduction of yaws. We assessed […]

Mosquito control might not bolster imperfect dengue vaccines

  • Autores: Devine G, Richard P, Sakuntabhai A, Sousa CA
  • Ano de Publicação: 2014
  • Journal: The Lancet

This is a substantial advance in dengue prevention but clearly falls short of the levels of protection required for a standalone intervention. The dengue vaccine initiative and other consortia have emphasised the benefits of integrating vaccines with mosquito control measures, which infers that vector control can bolster the effect of imperfect vaccines.
