“…From the compromised health of the baby, which has resulted in brain malformations such as microcephaly, 14 research studies are still being conducted to reach not only the ways in which the virus is transmitted but also its consequences on birth defects; 7 thus, further knowledge about ZIKV and the implications of infection is needed. 15 Because it is sometimes asymptomatic, it is often the case that ZIKV infection went unnoticed and many women were unaware that they had it, suggesting that knowledge of exposure during pregnancy can be attributed to causality, with uncertainty as to whether symptoms would be part of the disease. normal course of pregnancy or would be associated with the disease.…”

Objective: to know how mothers affected by the Zika virus during pregnancy became aware on the diagnosis of Congenital Zika Virus Syndrome in their child and to understand the way in which the communication of the diagnosis was transmitted. Method: a qualitative approach study, with interpretative research, based on the Resilience, Stress, Adjustment and Family Adaptation Model. The research was conducted in a Specialized Rehabilitation Center in a city of Paraíba (Brazil), from June to November 2017, with 40 mothers of children with congenital Zika virus syndrome. The empirical material was produced from a semi-structured script developed by the researcher, related to the different phases and components of the adaptation and resilience process. The findings were submitted to content analysis. Results: two thematic categories were unveiled: The discovery of Congenital Zika Virus Syndrome: period of diagnosis and maternal expectations, and How to communicate the diagnosis: implications for the discovery of Congenital Zika Virus Syndrome. Conclusion: Communication of the diagnosis and professional conduct at the time of information play important roles in re-signifying the meaning of congenital malformation. The interaction established by the health professional and their posture are directly related to the satisfaction about the information received.

“…In Brazil, it is the main vector of the four dengue serotypes (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, DENV-4) and the urban yellow fever virus, which occurs throughout the Brazilian territory [2,3,8]. It also transmits Zika virus (ZIKV) and chikungunya (CHIKV), which are responsible for infections and deaths in over 100 countries [3,[9][10][11].…”

The control of arboviruses carried by Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) and Aedes albopictus (Skuse) can be performed with tools that monitor and reduce the circulation of these vectors. Therefore, the efficiency of four types of traps in capturing A. aegypti and A. albopictus eggs and adults, with the biological product Vectobac WG, was evaluated in the field. For this, 20 traps were installed in two locations, which were in the South (Londrina, Paraná) and North (Manaus, Amazonas) Regions of Brazil, from March to April 2017 and January to February 2018, respectively. The UELtrap-E (standard trap) and UELtrap-EA traps captured A. aegypti and A. albopictus eggs: 1703/1866 eggs in Londrina, and 10268/2149 eggs in Manaus, respectively, and presented high ovitraps positivity index (OPI) values (averages: 100%/100% in Londrina, and 100%/96% in Manaus, respectively); and high egg density index (EDI) values (averages: 68/75 in Londrina, and 411/89 in Manaus, respectively), so they had statistically superior efficiency to that of the CRtrap-E and CRtrap-EA traps in both regions, that captured less eggs and adults: 96/69 eggs in Londrina, and 1091/510 eggs in Manaus, respectively. Also presented lower OPI values (averages: 28%/4% in Londrina, and 88%/60% in Manaus, respectively); and lower EDI values (averages: 10.5/9 in Londrina, and 47/30 in Manaus, respectively). The capture ratios of Aedes adults in the UELtrap-EA and CRtrap-EA traps in Londrina and Manaus were 53.3%/29.5% and 0%/9.8%, respectively. UELtrap-EA can be adopted as efficient tool for Aedes monitoring due to their high sensitivity, low cost and ease of use.

“…10 The effects of infection caused by the virus struck the population, researchers, professionals and health authorities in Brazil and in the world. 11 A study accomplished in João Pessoa/ PB, among mothers of children with microcephaly, revealed that, when they became aware of the knowledge regarding the diagnosis, many doubts have emerged about the disease, since its origin, probable consequences for the baby, as well as uncertainty about treatments and sequelae, 12 highlighting that it is necessary to know more about the Zika virus and its possible complications, 13 as well as the effects and repercussions on the lives of women, mothers of children in this condition, their families, and, in an ampler instance, the implications for the (re) organization of the system, services and actions in healthcare, besides social mobilization.…”

Objectives: To understand the meanings of having a child with the Congenital Zika virus Syndrome in the experience of women and, from this, what they would say to others who find themselves in the same situation. Method: Qualitative and interpretive study, based on the Model of Resilience, Stress, Adjustment and Family Adaptation proposed by McCubbin and McCubbin. 40 mothers from different cities in the state of Paraiba took part in the study. Results: The meanings found were classified in three thematic categories: the divine force that transforms life of the mothers; patience and love, double feelings as a source of overcoming; and the sense of mother’s strength beyond the disease. Conclusion and implication for practice: Caring for a child diagnosed with Congenital Zika virus Syndrome has involved emotional, social, spiritual and economic aspects, as well as a transformation and suffering process. The experiences may contribute to the qualification of healthcare professionals who deal directly with these mothers, and possibly, favor the confrontation and adaptation of them and their families and of the new families that may come to have children with
