Programa de Controle da Doença de Chagas no estado de São Paulo, Brasil: o controle e a vigilância da transmissão vetorial

Abstract: RESUMO ABSTRACTThe control of the vectors of Chagas' disease in the State of Sao Paulo are discussed, mainly those activities that led to the elimination of Triatoma infestans. Secondary factors that helped the control such as rural exodus are also analyzed. The article shows that since 1965 the control became a campaign with different phases due to the epidemiological situation, the acquired knowledge and the entomological surveillance. After 25 years of work, the elimination of all the focus of Triatoma infe… Show more

“…As respostas ao controle químico foram bastante diversas no caso do vetor introduzido (T. infestans) e de espécies nativas (Silveira & Máximo 1985). Enquanto para T. infestans a infestação foi sendo progressiva e consistentemente focalizada, as espécies autóctones mantinham sua dispersão inicial, mesmo que as populações fossem sendo reduzidas e as colônias intradomiciliares extintas.…”

“…The presence of T. sordida and P. megistus in the State of São Paulo results from their ability to invade and colonize human habitations 4) . After the control of T. infestans infection, P. megistus stands out in epidemiological terms as an entomological indicator of home infestation, and studies on the density (5) (9) showed that, in the State of São Paulo, about 1% of the T. sordida and 9% of the P. megistus species tested positive for T. cruzi infection. According to Silva et al (10) , Panstrongylus megistus is an important vector for T. cruzi infection in the state, with high rates of natural transmission.…”

“…Although there has been an increase in the number of insects captured, these triatomines were found to be negative for T. cruzi. Research by Silva et al (2011a) in São Paulo State showed that about 1% of T. sordida and 9% of P. megistus were positive for T. cruzi.…”
