摘要
There are several interventions for malaria control in Latin America that are in line with the principles of the Ecohealth approach. The objective of this paper was to identify interventions for malaria control with elements from the Ecohealth approach to evidence guiding elements, limiting and facilitating factors and recommendations for future interventions. A literature search was performed in six databases： Medline, Scopus, Central, IS! Web of Knowledge, Embase and BVS-Lilacs. To complement this information, several researchers were asked to participate in in-depth interviews. Ten articles, 6 reports from 3 IDRC interventions and 1 report of the PAMAFRO project were identified. Interventions included different methodologies to help improve the environment and health of the population. Interviewees coincided in analyzing malaria as a complex disease. They argued about the importance of carrying-out partnerships with various stakeholders in order to achieve sustainability of the interventions. The Ecohealth approach implies dialogue between community and researchers; participation of different disciplines; active participation of the various stakeholders; creation and maintenance of strategic alliances in pursuit of sustainability and scaling up of interventions into public policy.
