The study was conducted in the rural community of La Brea, Guatemala between 2002 and 2009 where vector infestation was analyzed within a spatial data framework based on entomological and socio-economic surveys of homesteads within the village. Participatory interventions focused on community awareness and low-cost home improvements using local materials to limit areas of refuge and alternative blood meals for the vector within the home, and potential shelter for the vector outside the home. As a result, domestic infestation was maintained at ≤ 3% and peridomestic infestation at ≤ 2% for 5 years beyond the last insecticide spraying, in sharp contrast to the rapid reinfestation experienced in earlier insecticide only interventions. 2013-02-04T00:00:00Z Healthy food for the picking kitchens and wild plants could be key to Lebanon's food security http://idl-bnc.idrc.ca:80/dspace/handle/10625/50717 Title: Healthy food for the picking kitchens and wild plants could be key to Lebanon's food security Authors: Boothroyd, James Description: 1st interim report, appendix 16; Full issue available at: http://www.aucc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/uniworld-march-2010.pdf 2010-03-01T00:00:00Z Preventing Pandemics Via International Development: A Systems Approach http://idl-bnc.idrc.ca:80/dspace/handle/10625/50636 Title: Preventing Pandemics Via International Development: A Systems Approach Authors: Bogich, Tiffany L; Chunara, Rumi; Scales, David; Chan, Emily; Pinheiro, Laura C Abstract: The Policy Forum allows health policy makers around the world to discuss challenges and opportunities for improving health care in their societies. 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z Health : an ecosystem approach; documenting ecohealth interventions in the MENA region http://idl-bnc.idrc.ca:80/dspace/handle/10625/49568 Title: Health : an ecosystem approach; documenting ecohealth interventions in the MENA region Authors: Center for Development Services 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Ecohealth approach [Arabic language] http://idl-bnc.idrc.ca:80/dspace/handle/10625/49566 Title: Ecohealth approach [Arabic language] Authors: Center for Development Services 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z
