News & Updates
Ecovec has developed a methodology for detecting arboviruses in mosquitoes using RT-PCR, a rapid and reliable molecular diagnostic technique. This method helps understand the circulation of viruses like dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever, aiding health agents in controlling and preventing these diseases.
Prevention of 27,191 dengue cases
The project for the government of Minas Gerais prevented 27,191 cases of dengue, saving R$6 for every R$1 invested in prevention.
First state-level monitoring in Espírito Santo
Ecovec conducted the first monitoring at the state level, covering 78 municipalities.
Integrated municipal monitoring in Porto Alegre
Ecovec implemented integrated monitoring across the entire municipality of Porto Alegre.
