Control and mitigation of dengue and Zika virus transmission in a hospital in Recife, Brazil: a successful experience with an integrated control program against Aedes aegypti
Molecular and antigen-based approaches confirmed the mitigation of arbovirus circulation in hospital-associated mosquitoes, demonstrating that the continuous elimination of Ae. aegypti females (> 99%) is critical in these settings to prevent nosocomial transmission.
