92 - Entomofavela Maré – community-based Aedes surveillance in a conflicting zone in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Abstract: Continuous mosquito density surveillance is crucial for Aedes aegypti control but challenging in favelas due to violence, despite these areas being arbovirus hotspots. We are conducting a year-round monthly surveillance in Favela da Maré (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) using egg-traps installed and evaluated by trained agents resident in that favela. Our results demonstrate that surveillance can be effectively performed in complex territories, overcoming infrastructure limitations and criminal faction challenges.
