“…This leads to it being thought that this type of monitoring should be done periodically (four-monthly) with virological monitoring (which could not be carried out in this study) to be alert to the imminence of an outbreak of dengue. Even though the latter type of monitoring is essential, it has been demonstrated that viral isolation is minimal when epidemics happen (12). This study has shown that dengue's urban vector can reach dangerous infestation levels in places lying above 1 700 masl.…”

Objective Describing the behaviour of dengue and its vector in Cáqueza, Colombia (1 746 masl) by serological, entomological and virological monitoring between March and June 2004. Methods Two types of study were carried out. One was a cross-sectional study for serologically monitoring the population and taking entomological indicators; participants were selected from the general population by random conglomerate sampling. The second study consisted of monitoring febrile cases suspected of dengue during a four-week period. Vector behaviour (bite-rate and hours of activity) was also included by using the landing-onhumans technique; a rubbish-collecting day was run during the same period for evaluating this intervention's short-term effectiveness. Results Total prevalence of infection by dengue (IgG positive) was 23,3 % in 252 people examined in the surveyed population. Household infestation index was 32,9 %; deposit index was 8,4 %; and Breteau index was 43,9. Following the rubbish-collection day, the infestation index became reduced by 56 % (14,5 % post-intervention), deposit index by 43 % (4,8 % post-intervention) and Breteau index by 59 % (17,9 % post-intervention). Two of the febrile patients (n=83) were IgM positive. Conclusions The study showed that dengue's urban vector can reach dangerous levels of infestation above 1 700 masl; however, a deeper study of its bionomy is needed at these heights above sea-level during different times of the year for improving knowledge regarding climatic and environmental factors affecting their efficiency as vector in these conditions.

During the 2013-2016 period, Dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika affected more than 1 million people in Colombia. These arboviruses and their chronic manifestations pose a public health challenge. Therefore, we estimated the burden of disease by Dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika in Colombia between 2013 and 2016. Methods: An exploratory ecological study was carried out using the disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) as a unit of measure. The mortality databases of the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE) and the morbidity databases of the National Public Health Surveillance System (SIVIGILA) were used. Deaths and cases for each arbovirus were grouped and then adjusted to control biases. Subsequently, we performed a sensitivity analysis. Results: In the 2013-2016 period, 491,629.2 DALYs were lost due to arboviruses in Colombia. By disease, 26.6% of the total DALYs were caused by Dengue, 71.3% by Chikungunya, and the remaining 2.2%, by Zika. The majority of DALYs (68.2%) were caused by chronic complications. Five out of 32 departments (Valle del Cauca, Tolima, Norte de Santander, Huila, and Bolívar) contributed 50.5% of total DALYs. Conclusion:The burden of disease by arboviruses in the 2013-2016 period exceeded the burden of other infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis in Colombia. Public health efforts must be made to mitigate new epidemics of these arboviruses.
