Spatial analysis of receptivity and vulnerability to arbovirosis transmission in Ecuador between 2015 and 2019: An ecological study
The spatial analysis allowed for precisely identifying the more susceptible and vulnerable areas for arbovirus transmission in Ecuador. The persistence of transmission hotspots in certain municipalities was evidenced, influenced by environmental and sociodemographic factors. This evidence is key to adapt and improve vector surveillance and control strategies in the most affected regions.
