“…A bio-social approach was adopted to identify both the biological and socio-behavioural factors 9,10,11,12,13 that have contributed towards the re-emergence of dengue fever including: poor housing and basic sanitation, lack of adequate water supply, the use of unprotected reservoirs for potable water, and no public garbage collection 14 . The study addresses the complexity of dengue fever emergence, in order to identify appropriate control strategies based on meaningful community involvement 15 .…”

Irregular water supply, household usage and dengue: a bio-social study in the Brazilian Northeast

Despite increased vector control efforts, dengue fever remains endemic in Fortaleza, Northeast Brazil, where sporadic epidemic outbreaks have occurred since 1986. Multiple factors affect vector ecology such as social policy, migration, urbanization, city water supply, garbage disposal and housing conditions, as well as community level understanding of the disease and related practices. This descriptive study used a multi-disciplinary approach that bridged anthropology and entomology. A multiple case study design was adopted to include research in six study areas, defined as blocks. The water supply is irregular in households from both under-privileged and privileged areas, however, clear differences exist. In the more privileged blocks, several homes are not connected to the public water system, but have a well and pump system and therefore irregularity of supply does not affect them. In households from under-privileged blocks, where the water supply is irregular, the frequent use of water containers such as water tanks, cisterns, barrels and pots, creates environmental conditions with a greater number of breeding areas. In under-privileged homes, there are more possible breeding areas and environmental conditions that may improve the chances of Aedes aegypti survival.

“…Apesar da participação da população nas ações de combate à dengue ser entendida como de extrema importância, alguns autores 24 encontraram uma baixa participação da população na formulação de políticas de combate à dengue, apontando para a necessidade de elaboraçäo de mensagens que informem näo só práticas preventivas ideais, mas também ofereçam soluçöes possíveis; divulgaçäo permanente de através da mídia; planejamento de atividades de educaçäo em saúde para o estreitamento da relaçäo entre profissionais de saúde e populaçäo, com o objetivo da construçäo de alternativas sustentáveis para o controle da dengue 25 .…”

O objetivo deste artigo é descrever e discutir a aplicação do Planejamento e Programação Local em Saúde (PPLS) para o diagnóstico de problemas em população da área de abrangência de uma Unidade de Saúde da Família (USF) de dado município do nordeste brasileiro, situada no entorno de uma universidade, como parte de uma atividade de aquisição de habilidades e competências médicas na graduação. Diagnosticada como um dos principais problemas de saúde pública, a Dengue foi priorizada na elaboração de um projeto de intervenção para sua prevenção composto por atividades de sensibilização e educação, que foram executadas no espaço de um ano, em parceria com a USF, o Núcleo de Apoio à Saúde da Família (NASF) de referência e entidades da comunidade alvo, como a Associação de Catadores de Material Reciclável. Constatou-se que, mesmo sendo a Dengue um agravo muito veiculado pela mídia e com amplas formas de enfrentamento já praticadas pelo próprio sistema de saúde, ainda se mantinha mal dimensionada, enquanto problema, em face da resistência da população em modificar seus hábitos. O uso do PPLS se mostrou útil não apenas no sentido de organizar, executar e avaliar as intervenções propostas, mas como método que pode ser incorporado às práticas das equipes do Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF). Experiências de transformação de realidades complexas, realizadas por alunos de medicina, poderão repercutir não apenas na sua formação, mas no processo de trabalho de equipes da ESF.

“…equator and tropical zones), precipitation and humidity with availability of the preferred breeding habitats favorable to larval development at distinctive immature stages can lead to an increased number of emerging adult species [51,46]. From the bio-ecological perspective, the presence of the vector mosquito "Aedesaegypti" and the quantity of breeding grounds and nurseries are extremely important [71,72] because domestic water storage containers are appropriated sites for them [45]. Particularly, in dry periods, the irregularities or inexistence of water supply from the public sphere leads to store water in containers.…”

Despite mischief caused before, "Aedesaegypti" has acquired an international important status in view of recent zika outbreak in Brazil and consequently of the impressive numbers of Brazilian babies with microcephaly -approximately 2,106 cases in the last epidemiological week of October, 2016. In March 2016, the Brazilian Ministry of Health published the "Protocol" for the health care response to Zika-related microcephaly, but the number of cases has just increased. In the present case report we present the alarming numbers of microcephaly, mainly in Northeast and Southeast of country, and poor living conditions of cities. As we shall see, the "Aedesaegypti" seems to have won the battle against citizens because they were cunning and have adapted quickly to deplorable urban conditions and to climate change. In contrast, the executive entities eventually put their prescriptions against imbalance health system in practice, just in some isolated cases. There is a distinct gap between government's actions and population's reality, which suggests that special attention to vulnerable populations should be priority, especially for those who are going to be born, because they represent the future of nation. Analyzing available information, we could conclude that given the situation, it would be regrettable to consider that citizens are mere spectators, dependent on previously defined actions, when in reality the society should occupy a prominent position in any process, demanding appropriated decisions in order to ensure the effectiveness of health and housing programs.
