ABSTRACT

Se hizo un estudio descriptivo y transversal de 72 larvitrampas distribuidas en el área de salud Josué País García de Santiago de Cuba, en cuyo interior no se encontraron larvas de Aedes aegypti durante el último cuatrimestre del 2007, a fin de precisar las causas que impidieron el buen funcionamiento de ese sistema de vigilancia entomológica. Se halló que en 72,3 por ciento de los casos (52 larvitrampas), otros depósitos sustituían a los arcos de neumáticos que contenían un litro de agua sin abate, así como también que la labor de las operarias encargadas de inspeccionar esa tarea fue generalmente adecuada, puesto que los resultados desfavorables obedecieron a factores sociales favorecedores de la introducción y proliferación del culícido en la zona.


A descriptive and cross sectional study of 72 traps for larvae was made, distributed in Josué País García health area from Santiago de Cuba, in whose interior larvae of Aedes aegypti were not found, during the last quarter of 2007, in order to specify the causes that avoided the good operation of that entomologic surveillance system. It was found that in 72,3 percent of the cases (52 traps for larvae), other deposits substituted the tires arch that contained a liter of water without abate, as well as that the work of the operative staff in charge of inspecting that task was generally appropriate, since the unfavorable results were due to social factors which favoured the introduction and proliferation of the culicid in the area.
