Analysis of inpatient data on dengue fever, malaria and leishmaniasis in Ecuador: A cross-sectional national study, 2015–2022

Resumen

The results suggest that vector-borne disease control has failed in Ecuador. Unfortunately, there was no significant trend towards a decrease in dengue, malaria, and leishmaniasis in Ecuador during the years studied. This study highlights the need to optimise sustainable vector control programs and emphasises continuous monitoring of disease incidence and control measures.
