Description
Carlos Espinal Tejada and a regional expert panel set out a 2026 blueprint for stronger dengue control across Latin America. Specialists met in Bogotá in March 2025 under the Americas Health Foundation to map gaps in vaccination, diagnosis, treatment, mosquito control, and policy. Dengue is now the region's fastest-spreading mosquito-borne disease.
Barriers named by the panel include underreporting, insecticide resistance, weak health systems, fragmented surveillance, and funding limits. Social and economic drivers also sustain transmission in crowded urban settings. Recommendations target better regional surveillance, stronger prevention and diagnosis, and tighter coordination among stakeholders. The review mixes epidemiological context with practical guidance. Its central claim is that no single sector can control dengue alone, so multisector work must replace separate efforts.
