在世界许多地区，病媒传播疾病仍然是一个重大的公共卫生威胁。传统的病媒监测和控制方法依赖于主动和被动监测方案，这些方案往往费用高昂且耗时。新的基于互联网的病媒监测系统已经显示出在消除卫生当局的一些成本和劳动力负担方面的前景。我们开发并评估了一个新的基于互联网的监测系统“AlertaChirimacha”的有效性，该系统用于检测秘鲁阿雷基帕市的南美锥虫病媒介-致病锥虫（当地以其盖丘亚语名称Chirimacha而闻名）。在实施后的前26个月，AlertaChirimacha收到了206份居民怀疑或担心家中或社区有锥蝽的报告，我们通过图片或检查确认了其中11份（5.3%）是锥蝽。经显微镜检查，采集的标本均未感染克氏锥虫。AlertaChirimacha收到的确认报告比传统监测系统多57%，发现的受感染房屋比主动和被动监测方法的总和多10%。通过深入访谈，我们评估了AlertaChirimacha的影响范围、双边接触以及反应敏捷度和效率。我们的研究强调了基于互联网的病媒监测系统，如AlertaChirimacha，在资源有限的环境中改善病媒监测和控制工作的潜力。这一办法可以减少在该区域消灭病媒介导的查加斯病的费用和时间范围。传播疾病的昆虫在世界许多地方仍然是一个问题。监测和控制它们可能既昂贵又耗时，但新的基于互联网的方法在减少工作量和成本方面显示出了希望。我们开发了AlertaChirimacha，这是一个基于互联网的监测系统，用于检测Triatoma infestans，这是一种传播恰加斯病的昆虫。AlertaChirimacha在秘鲁的阿雷基帕进行了测试，在实施后的26个月内，它收到了206份来自居民的报告，怀疑他们家中有这些昆虫，其中11份得到了我们团队的确认。AlertaChirimacha检测到的受感染房屋比传统方法加起来还要多。AlertaChirimacha在接触人们、让他们参与和回应报告方面也很有效。这种方法可以在资源有限的地方改善控制虫媒疾病的努力，并降低消除媒介介导的恰加斯病的成本。
Vector-borne diseases remain a significant public health threat in many regions of the world. Traditional vector surveillance and control methods have relied on active and passive surveillance programs, which are often costly and time-consuming. New internet-based vector surveillance systems have shown promise in removing some of the cost and labor burden from health authorities. We developed and evaluated the effectiveness of a new internet-based surveillance system, “AlertaChirimacha”, for detecting Triatoma infestans (known locally by its Quechua name, Chirimacha), the Chagas disease vector, in the city of Arequipa, Peru. In the first 26 months post-implementation, AlertaChirimacha received 206 reports of residents suspecting or fearing triatomines in their homes or neighborhoods, of which we confirmed, through pictures or inspections, 11 (5.3%) to be Triatoma infestans. After microscopic examination, none of the specimens collected were infected with Trypanosoma cruzi. AlertaChirimacha received 57% more confirmed reports than the traditional surveillance system and detected 10% more infested houses than active and passive surveillance approaches combined. Through in-depth interviews we evaluate the reach, bilateral engagement, and response promptness and efficiency of AlertaChirimacha. Our study highlights the potential of internet-based vector surveillance systems, such as AlertaChirimacha, to improve vector surveillance and control efforts in resource-limited settings. This approach could decrease the cost and time horizon for the elimination of vector-mediated Chagas disease in the region. Insects that spread diseases are still a problem in many parts of the world. Monitoring and controlling them can be expensive and time-consuming, but new internet-based methods have shown promise in reducing workload and costs. We developed AlertaChirimacha, an internet-based surveillance system to detect Triatoma infestans, a species of insect that spreads Chagas disease. AlertaChirimacha was tested in Arequipa, Peru, and in the 26 months after it was implemented, it received 206 reports from residents who suspected they had these insects in their homes, 11 were confirmed by our team. AlertaChirimacha detected more infested homes than the traditional methods combined. AlertaChirimacha was also effective in reaching people, getting them to engage, and respond to reports. This approach can improve efforts to control insect-borne diseases in places with limited resources and make it less expensive to eliminate vector-mediated Chagas disease.
