Knowledge and actions for the control of the vector Aedes aegypti in a municipality in the Legal Amazon
ABSTRACT Infections caused by arboviruses that have mostly impacted the Brazilian morbidity and mortality are caused by the same vector, Aedes aegypti. Preventive actions related to the vector are the most effective strategies in the prevention and control of these diseases. This study aimed to asso...
