Evaluación preliminar de la Estrategia de Información, Comunicación y Educación para el control del Aedes aegypti, en La Dorada, Colombia

Abstract: RESUMENObjetivo Estimar el impacto de la estrategia de Información, Educación y Comunicación sobre la infestación de Aedes aegypti en viviendas de La Dorada. Métodos Estudio transversal adelantado entre junio y julio de 2008 en La Dorada, Colombia. Se seleccionaron 228 viviendas donde se midió presencia del vector a través del método rapid sweeping para formas inmaduras en tanques y de captura activa para adultos. Simultáneamente, una encuesta midió la exposición a la estrategia. La base de datos se analizó en… Show more

“…Sin embargo, la reconocida situación epidemiológica de Colombia con respecto a la diseminación de vectores como Aedes aegypti y Anopheles spp. (3,4), ha llevado a que se reconozcan sólo algunas enfermedades como prioritarias, existiendo un mayor énfasis en dengue, fiebre amarilla y malaria.…”

“…Intermediate outcomes were the number of positive containers with larvae and/or pupae by house [22, 23, 30], overall average of positive containers with larvae and/or pupae (C+/C) [22], percentage of water-filled containers positive for larvae and/or pupae [25, 33, 48], and catch basins positive for larvae and pupae [62]. The results from Espinoza-Gómez et al [22] stress that using an EI, preceded by intersectoral integration with the community, had a significantly stronger effect on reducing breeding sites for Aedes aegypti than did chemical spraying.…”

“…Basso et al [33] found that the percentage change in number of containers registered after the intervention (EI with an entomological survey) was thoroughly different among six clusters studied, showing reductions between 26.1% (cluster 4) and 66.5% (cluster 20) in 17 clusters and increases in three clusters ranging from 9.4% (cluster 6) and 53.2% (cluster 13). The study by Pacheco-Coral et al [30] revealed only partial success for the strategy in La Dorada (Colombia); houses that did not have larvae were characterized as having female heads of household or residents who were knowledgeable about larvae and the mode of transmission of dengue. Lastly, Ocampo et al [62] found a higher percentage of catch basins positive for pupae during the pre-intervention period compared to the intervention period (71.4% versus 57.6%).…”
