A broad range of insect vectors carry disease in Costa Rica’s diverse ecology, causing substantial common outbreaks of Dengue, Chikungunya, Chagas, and, now, Zika. Vector control as a strategy for primary prevention of insect-borne disease often fails due to broad chemical and biological, geographically-based tactics (e.g., community spraying) proving ineffective or unacceptable to communities, or inconsistent individual behavior or difficult-to-implement strategies at the personal level. Communities, however, have large, untapped resources in motivated civil and social groups, local businesses, and informal organizations that could facilitate environmental remediation (removing insect breeding sites, reducing hotspots). These sources are rarely, if ever, engaged in vector control strategies, nor are the large tourist populations arriving in Costa Rica who are often interested in assisting the communities they visit. Untapped community mobilization represents an opportunity for technological innovation that leverages widespread mobile phone use and internet access to enhance the human behavior aspect of vector control. As crowdsensing-based applications (e.g., Waze, Moovit) and games (e.g., Pokémon GO) have shown, app users can collaborate virtually to effect group behavior using shared, dynamic knowledge. This combination of need, technology, and behavioral-community dynamics provides a unique opportunity for vector control in areas impacted by insect-borne disease. This project proposed - termed Zancudos, Ambiente y Proteccion, or ¡mZAP! - leverages an NIH-funded, two- decade relationship between the University of Rochester and Costa Rica to: 1) Create a novel, community- driven, GPS-based theoretically-informed smart device application coupled with a publicly-available, social media-enabled, web-based map to crowdsource insect risks; 2) Identify and demonstrate community strategies for app-driven remediation of insect habitats; and, 3) Evaluate the use and utility of engaging local community and tourist populations to help identify insect risk and crowdsource app-based action. The resulting ¡mZAP! tools help enable communities, households, and individuals to identify, report, and act around habitat risks that relate to insect-based disease control. ¡mZAP! is theoretically-informed to address individual and collective behavior, fundamentally organized around participatory design, and systematically managed from concept to prototyping and demonstration. ¡mZAP! will be developed and demonstrated in several Costa Rican communities representing different social and ecological contexts. The project will be implemented through a demonstrated, existing NIH-funded partnership that supports ICT development and testing in communities, infused by South-South expertise from another UR-based, CDC-funded global network partnership in Puerto Rico. ¡MZAP! represents a paradigm shift, providing the first community-based, crowdsourced system of its kind that could help demonopolize and democratize technological intervention enabling communities to participate in ecological vector-control processes from which they often feel excluded.

在哥斯达黎加多样化的生态环境中，多种昆虫媒介携带疾病，导致大量常见疾病 登革热、基孔肯雅热、恰加斯病和现在的寨卡病的爆发作为初级策略。 由于广泛的化学和生物、地理因素，昆虫传播疾病的预防常常失败 策略（例如社区喷洒）被证明无效或社区不可接受，或个人不一致 然而，社区有大量尚未开发的行为或难以实施的策略。 积极主动的民间和社会团体、当地企业和非正式组织的资源，可以促进 环境整治（清除昆虫繁殖地、减少热点）。 从来没有参与病媒控制战略，抵达哥斯达黎加的大量游客也没有 经常有兴趣帮助他们访问的社区。未开发的社区动员代表了一种行动。 利用移动电话的广泛使用和互联网接入来实现技术创新的机会 增强矢量控制的人类行为方面。 Moovit）和游戏（例如 Pokémon GO）已经表明，应用程序用户可以通过虚拟方式进行团队协作 使用共享的动态知识的行为。这种需求、技术和行为社区的结合。 动态为受虫媒疾病影响的地区的病媒控制提供了独特的机会。 提议的项目 - 称为 Zancudos、Ambiente y Proteccion，或 ¡ mZAP! - 利用 NIH 资助的两个项目 罗切斯特大学和哥斯达黎加之间十年的合作关系：1）创建一个新颖的社区- 驱动的、基于 GPS 的理论智能设备应用程序与公开可用的社交 支持媒体、基于网络的众包昆虫风险地图 2) 识别并展示社区策略； 用于应用程序驱动的昆虫栖息地修复；以及，3) 评估当地社区参与的使用和效用 和游客群体，以帮助识别昆虫风险和基于众包应用程序的行动。姆扎普！ 工具有助于社区、家庭和个人识别、报告和应对栖息地风险 ¡与基于昆虫的疾病控制相关。 mZAP! 从理论上讲可以解决个人和集体问题 行为，从根本上围绕参与式设计进行组织，并系统地管理从概念到 ¡原型设计和演示。 mZAP! 将在哥斯达黎加的几个国家进行开发和演示 该项目将通过一个代表不同社会和生态环境的社区来实施。 现有的、由 NIH 资助的合作伙伴关系，支持社区中的 ICT 开发和测试， 注入了来自另一个位于波多黎各的UR、CDC资助的全球网络伙伴关系的南南专业知识 里科.
