The confirmatory comment of Garcia-Teillard et al. [1] has led us to formulate an answer based on three points: - The treatment of infection with targeted and prolonged antibiotic therapy that can in- terfere with the Chlamydia trachomatis life cycle, reducing antibiotic inappropriateness and, thus, efficacy; - Reducing indiscriminate pesticide pollution that interferes with the food chain and reduces biodiversity; - Evaluating the active role of dipterans in the transmission of infection in urban areas by raising awareness of sexually transmitted infection among Health Authorities through information and prevention, differentiating between protection and contraception, with a current increase in the spread of infection in the competent population.

Abstract
The confirmatory comment of Garcia-Teillard et al. [1] has led us to formulate an answer based on three points: - The treatment of infection with targeted and prolonged antibiotic therapy that can in- terfere with the Chlamydia trachomatis life cycle, reducing antibiotic inappropriateness and, thus, efficacy; - Reducing indiscriminate pesticide pollution that interferes with the food chain and reduces biodiversity; - Evaluating the active role of dipterans in the transmission of infection in urban areas by raising awareness of sexually transmitted infection among Health Authorities through information and prevention, differentiating between protection and contraception, with a current increase in the spread of infection in the competent population.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
