Why it matters nowThe authors suggest that spatially targeted surveillance and control measures, focused on household- and neighborhood-level high-risk zones during both epidemic and inter-epidemic periods, could be more efficient than random interventions in resource-limited hyperendemic settings.

Type: Randomised controlled trial
Scope: Mexico, Venezuela

Why it matters nowInsecticide-treated curtains and water container covers reduced dengue vector densities to low levels across entire study communities, suggesting potential for area-wide dengue transmission reduction through this intervention approach.
