Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Entomological surveillance of Chagas disease in Mambaí and Buritinópolis, in the State of Goiás, Brazil, has been kept up through the local population's participation, consisting of reporting the presence of vectors inside their homes. A long time has elapsed since instituting these control measures and it has now been certified that vector transmission has been halted. Thus, this study sought to evaluate the population's knowledge and practices in this situation. The results show that there has been progressive indifference towards the topic of "Chagas disease", which can be attributed to the reduction in the magnitude of the problem that this disease represented, little participation in surveillance among schools, low epidemiological importance of secondary and native vectors and, consequently, limited control interventions from health services in response to notifications. It is proposed that direct search activities by means of sampling should be carried out periodically, and that there should be greater involvement among teaching institutions.
