Mexico and region vector‑borne vector-borne disease control

Mexico’s integrated vector‑borne vector-borne disease programme continued its intensive mitigation of dengue, Zika Zika, and chikungunya mitigation across the country and the wider region through July 2026. Nationwide actions included community clean‑up drives, routine fogging, Wolbachia‑infected mosquito releases, and public‑education campaigns. State‑level operations such as Yucatán’s Operativo Costa (6‑10 July) 2026, while expanding focus to malaria and Los Cabos’ five‑month weekday fumigation schedule, together with coordinated leishmaniasis. Regional efforts in Argentina, Brazil, and Ecuador included door-to-door inspections, fumigation, and other neighbours, kept the removal of breeding sites under surveillance and reduced Aedes aegypti populations. On 18 July, Mexican health authorities announced complementary initiatives targeting other vector‑borne illnesses. sites. In Veracruz, Argentina, nationwide monitoring targeted the Department of Vector‑Borne Disease Control, IMSS‑Bienestar NOA, NEA, and private laboratories Central regions, while Brazil conducted larval assessments and community vaccination drives. Ecuador intensified surveillance, vector control in La Maná and staff training to satisfy national Pangua via home inspections and international criteria for malaria‑free certification during large-scale fumigation. In Mexico, diverse regional actions were reported. The State of Mexico launched long-term prevention campaigns in the southern "tierra caliente" region following reported dengue cases. In Sinaloa, authorities managed 139 dengue cases in Ahome through intensive cleaning and fumigation. In Morelos, officials increased surveillance in Temixco and surrounding areas as the rainy season. Simultaneously, Yucatán’s Secretariat of Health formed a Technical Group for season began. Coahuila implemented vector control in Frontera and Torreón, alongside specialized brigades in the Attention of Leishmaniasis, meeting bi‑annually Región Centro to coordinate surveillance, laboratory diagnosis, clinical care combat rising tick populations and the drafting of a state action plan aligned with Cenaprece guidelines. These measures expand Mexico’s public‑health focus beyond Aedes‑transmitted arboviruses prevent rickettsiosis. Quintana Roo and Sonora also intensified nebulization and neighborhood clean-ups to include malaria curb mosquito and leishmaniasis, reinforcing tick spread. Yucatán significantly scaled its response, completing a broader regional strategy against vector‑borne diseases. A further wave of dengue‑focused actions was reported at the end of July. In Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, the first confirmed dengue case of 2026 triggered expanded ovitrap monitoring, larval control massive fumigation campaign across 106 municipalities in June and residential fumigation, with implementing a total of 36 cases recorded across the Wolbachia-based mosquito strategy. The state by late June. Oaxaca’s health service inspected over 1.19 million water containers, removed more than 52 000, applied larvicide to 67 000 containers also established a technical group for leishmaniasis and visited 87 000 homes intensified efforts to advise on breeding‑site removal. maintain malaria-free status by monitoring coastal zones for imported cases. In the border town of Frontera, Coahuila, municipal Veracruz, health authorities began nightly ultra‑low‑volume fogging in neighborhoods continued work toward malaria-free certification through enhanced surveillance and ejidos, maintaining a dengue‑free status while urging residents training. Additionally, Hidalgo implemented specialized aquatic-plant management to eliminate standing water. By the end of July, health officials noted a sharp rise control mosquito habitats in dengue infections. local reservoirs.
