Many affluent countries, with the necessary technological capabilities and expertise, entered into the production of Covid-19 vaccines or sought the biopharmaceutical companies to block them for themselves through anticipated buying. It is estimated that as early December 2020, 3.8 billion vaccine doses had been guaranteed to these countries by several producers. If one compares that figure with the 3.2 billion doses, that include the 700 million doses from the Covax facility, for the rest of the world one cannot help being struck by the immensity of the inequity.

An important step to understanding the dynamics of arbovirus transmission, such as dengue fever, zika and chikungunya, is to get to know mosquitoes’ ability to get infected and to transmit the viruses that cause these diseases. This characteristic is technically known as vectorial competence. A study by researchers of the Oswaldo Cruz Institute (IOC/Fiocruz) showed that the Aedes aegypti has low vectorial competence for the zika virus when feeding directly on infected monkeys.
