This thesis makes an attempt using novel input vector monitoring concurrent BIST scheme, which is based on the idea of monitoring a set of vectors called windows, and the use of a static-RAM like structure.
Window based Input vector monitoring concurrent built-in self test (BIST) schemes perform testing during the normal operation of the circuit without the requirement to set the circuit offline to perform the test.
The samples used in our study were collected as part of the vector monitoring component of the BIMCP.
Vector monitoring system is affiliated to the health system, and performs a monthly investigation for mosquito density.
Furthermore, we will attempt to develop novel inexpensive diagnostic tools, both for human diagnostics as well as for vector monitoring that will enhance an integrated surveillance system.
We propose to develop novel tools for vector monitoring, including the use of attractants to increase trap efficacy in the field.
However, given the potential for man-mediated introduction of vectors highlighted by this and other studies, particular care should be taken in implementing effective vector monitoring schemes in strategic points such as airports and harbors.
Ttraditional methods of vector monitoring in Brazil, which include surveys of larvae and pupae (8, 9 ) and capture of adult mosquitoes by aspiration (10 ), are less specific and labor-intensive.
Meanwhile, active surveillance systems, vector monitoring and case reporting should also be reinforced for effective control of DENV infection and dissemination as well as early detection of future dengue epidemics.
Interventions for reducing the health impacts of climate variability include effective health education programs, improvement of health care infrastructure, disaster preparedness plans, vector monitoring and control, and appropriate sewage and solid-waste management practices.
