Levantamento rápido de infestação por Aedes aegypti

Abstract

The LIRAa is a field research recommended by the World Health Organization, Pan American Health Organization and adopted by the Ministry of health of Brazil to evaluate and monitor the index of Aedes aegypti infestation in a particular town or area, and recommended that an area is considered of low risk of Dengue epidemic stay below 1%When is an index above it is necessary to intensify the services of combating vector. This work is performed by a multidisciplinary team with a coordination, field staff, laboratory and typing. Teams of agents are distributed by certain endemic regions, performing a sampling work in homes to build a picture of the level of infestation of these places. Based on these data it is possible to measure the actions of dengue control, most supported the reality of such localities. Using as parameters the index Infestation Rates and Breteau index to show a percentage of infestation areas worked, there was a high incidence of Aedes aegypti, showing the danger of a dengue epidemic in these regions, exacerbated by high population index there.
