Buenas noches colegas,
Les comparto un extracto del documento que estoy traduciendo:
Con el apoyo de la comunidad se logró contener la proliferación de las enfermedades febriles tales como el Dengue, Chikungunya y Malaria; no causando mayores efectos en la población.
"... which prevented major **** among the population"?

thereby preventing major/further outbreaks
Perhaps I'm taking liberties here with the source, but I sense that by "efectos" they are talking about "outbreaks".
Difficult to tell whether it means "major" or "more" though.

without causing any major consequences
The source text uses the semicolon incorrectly so it is difficult to understand what is even being said. Unless you gathered it from surrounding context in the source text, I’m not sure how this phrase means “which prevented” in English.
It is not clear if the author originally meant “which prevented major consequences” or “without causing major consequences.” I.e. the causality of the situation is unclear. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help. More context might help us though.

: Aunque ciertamente resulta difícil imaginar a qué se refiere exactamente el original, esta lectura es la que me resulta más natural -a falta de más contexto!

: You can't cause consequences - it's a tautology. If you left out "causing", your answer would be OK.
