“…De modo relativo, a epidemia da dengue normalmente acontece em muitos estados brasileiros, sendo alguns com maior intensidade de casos de que outros (Oliveira, 2019;Silvia, 2017;Nascimento, 2015). Na Figura 1 é apresentado o mapa do Brasil definido pela totalidade de casos registrados pelas regiões do Brasil acontecidas no período mencionado anteriormente.…”

A dengue é um contágio causado através de um vírus sistêmico, do qual o principal transmissor é o mosquito Aedes aegypti, com excelente adequação ao clima tropical e subtropical. Essa enfermidade infecciosa tem enorme relevância para a saúde pública por estar de forma direta relacionada à desigualdade econômica e as situações de vida inapropriada. Este trabalho busca identificar os fatores associados a ocorrência da dengue e a preponderância que a desigualdade estrutural causa na sociedade. Foi utilizado um método matemático para calcular o aumento e a diminuição de casos nos anos de 2015 à 2020, e para identificar os picos epidêmicos em cada estado brasileiro e Distrito Federal. Foram calculados 27 picos da epidemia, e na escala de período comprovou-se maior eventualidade nos anos de 2015, 2016, 2019 e 2020, na devida ordem. Alguns estados apresentam uma situação propícia para a disseminação, ocasionando as altas elevações de casos por dengue no território brasileiro.

“…Therefore, it is a recommended technique for vector control [20,37,38]. In Fortaleza, frequent water shortage causes insecurity and the need to store water, mainly in suburban neighborhoods [6]. Due to water and financial scarcity, the reservoirs are constructed in different shapes, sizes, materials, and, in most cases, pose a real risk to public health.…”

“…For instance, small buckets, bottles, tires, large storage tanks, water tanks, tanks, and pools were considered. The collection of more information about the large storage tanks is because they can promote habitat for greater reproduction of Aedes and, generally, they remain in the property for a longer time requiring management for an extended period [6,19] (Figure 4). Regarding potential Aedes breeding sites, the frequency of all containers that could accumulate water from the public supply system, rain, waterholes, well, or appliances, such as refrigerators, water dispensers, and air conditioning equipment, was recorded.…”

“…A severe problem for communities is the inadequate destination of solid waste. Many residents dispose of these materials in open spaces such as sidewalks, squares, and vacant lots [6]. The EDCAs identified the owners or responsible for the lots, discussed the impor-tance of eliminating potential breeding sites in these spaces, and agreed on a new visit to assess whether the site still had an infestation risk.…”

Aedes aegypti is a cosmopolitan vector for arboviruses dengue, Zika and chikungunya, disseminated in all Brazilian states. The Eco-Bio-Social (EBS) strategy is vital in Aedes aegypti control as it mobilizes stakeholders (government, professionals, society, and academics) to promote healthy environments. This paper describes the rationale and methods of expanding the EBS strategy for Aedes aegypti control in Fortaleza, Northeast Brazil. A cluster, non-randomized controlled clinical trial was developed to analyze the strategy’s effectiveness in vulnerable territories (high incidence of dengue and violent deaths; low HDI; substandard urban infrastructure, high population density, and water scarcity). We selected two intervention and two control groups, resulting in a sample of approximately 16,000 properties. The intervention consisted of environmental management by sealing large elevated water tanks, introduction of beta fish in waterholes, elimination of potential breeding sites, and mobilization and training of schoolchildren, endemic disease workers, health workers, social mobilizers, and community leaders; community surveillance of arboviruses; construction and validation of a booklet for the prevention of arboviruses in pregnant women. We analyzed the costs of arboviruses to government and households, the intervention cost-effectiveness, chikungunya’s chronicity, and acceptance, sustainability, and governance of vector control actions. The primary outcome (infestation) was analyzed using the house, container, and Breteau indices. We hope that this study will help us understand how to scale up strategies to fight Aedes aegypti in vulnerable areas.

Women’s participation in the prevention and control of dengue using environmental methods in the global south: a qualitative meta-synthesis

Background Dengue, a mosquito-borne viral disease, causes significant mortality and morbidity in low- to middle-income countries. A body of research indicates that women can be effective in implementing vector borne disease control, but they still face inequitable opportunities for participation, leadership and decision-making in the execution of dengue prevention and vector control programmes. Yet implementing informal environmental management practices to prevent mosquito vector breeding forms part of their domestic household responsibilities. Understanding the enablers and barriers to women’s equitable roles with men in formal and informal disease prevention, and the benefits of their participation could help to increase their role and may be a contributing factor to reducing disease rates. The objective of this qualitative meta-synthesis was to synthesise evidence about women’s roles in dengue prevention and control in the global south and generate insights around the barriers, enablers, and benefits. Methods Eight databases were searched from inception to 7th December 2020. One investigator independently reviewed all titles and abstracts for relevant articles. Grey literature was searched using 34 websites of global health and international development organisations. Results A total of 18 articles representing qualitative research or the qualitative component of mixed methods studies from Latin American and Caribbean (n = 8), Asia (n = 9), and one international review were included in the meta-synthesis. Relevant scholarship from Africa was lacking. This meta-synthesis revealed five unique themes surrounding women’s participation, seven categories of barriers, six of enablers, four health, well-being and social benefits for individuals, and four for communities . Conclusion An analysis of the results confirmed that women’s participation in dengue prevention was not gender equitable, gender sensitive nor transformative although women are the primary human resource for household and community-based prevention. Women demonstrated specific qualities aiding successful implementation. Corrective action is urgently needed to shift unhelpful gender norms, and empower women into leadership and decision-making roles.
