  abstract = {{B}ackground: {T}he emergence and re-emergence of vector-borne and other infectious diseases of poverty pose a threat to the health of populations living in urban and low-income settings. {A} detailed understanding of intervention strategies, including effectiveness of past outbreak containment, is necessary to improve future practices. {T}he objective was to determine what is known about the effectiveness of containment measures for emerging and re-emerging vector-borne and other infectious diseases of poverty in urban settings and identify research gaps and implications for public health practice. {M}ain body: {W}e conducted a scoping review and systematically searched peer-reviewed and grey literature published between 2000 and 2016. {D}ifferent data extraction tools were used for data coding and extraction, and data on implementation process and transferability were extracted from all studies. {A} quality assessment was conducted for each included study. {W}e screened 205 full-text articles and reports for a total of 31 articles included in the review. {T}he quality of the studies was generally low to moderate. {T}he largest body of evidence concerned control activities for {E}bola virus and dengue fever. {T}he majority of interventions (87%) relied on multiple types of measures, which were grouped into four categories: 1) healthcare provision; 2) epidemiological investigation and/or surveillance; 3) environmental or sanitary interventions; and 4) community-based interventions. {T}he quality of the majority of studies (90%) was poor or moderate, and one-third of the studies did not provide a clear description of the outcomes and of the procedures and/or tools used for the intervention. {C}onclusions: {O}ur results highlight the difficulty of establishing causation when assessing the effect of containment measures. {S}tudies that extend beyond solely reporting on effectiveness and take into account the complexity of real-world settings are urgently needed. {W}e recommend the allocation of research efforts to the evaluation of the implementation processes of interventions as well as their comprehensive and systematic description using validated checklists.},
