RESUMO
Aedes vittatus, vector que transmite el virus de la fiebre amarilla, el dengue, el zika y el chikungunya, se detectó por primera vez en enero de 2020 en la localidad de Ramón de las Yaguas del municipio Santiago de Cuba, lo que constituyó el primer registro en la provincia del mismo nombre. Este hallazgo significó una alerta para el resto del país y conllevó a investigar sobre su bioecología y competencia vectorial. A tales efectos se realizó el presente estudio con el objetivo de informar lo relacionado con la presencia de esta especie invasora, la distribución espacial y los sitios de cría para adoptar decisiones preventivas y de control.
Aedes vittatus, vector that transmits the yellow fever virus, dengue, zika and chikungunya, was detected for the first time in January, 2020 in the town of Ramón de las Yaguas town from Santiago de Cuba municipality, what constituted the first record in the province with the same name. This finding meant an alert for the rest of the country and led to investigate on its bioecology and vectorial competence. To such effects the present study was carried out with the objective of informing everything related to the presence of this invading species, the space distribution and breeding sites to adopt preventive and control decisions.

Se reporta la presencia de larvas de Aedes aegypti en un depósito inusual para realizar la ovoposición: macetas de plantas ornamentales. Estos depósitos de diámetros variables y con fondo de tierra, son utilizados para sembrar plantas con diversos usos por parte de la familia, los cuales no pueden ser flameados, ni son generalmente abatizados por parte del personal especializado de la red de control de vectores. Sin embargo, la presencia de larvas de Ae aegypti en estos depósitos, se deriva al parecer de las acciones intensivas y extensivas que se ejecutan en el área de salud atendida por el Policlínico Universitario Ignacio Agramonte de Camagüey, por lo que se están operando importantes e interesantes modificaciones conductuales en el vector, que deben tenerse en cuenta durante la inspección de las viviendas y los locales.
The presence of larvae of Aedes aegypti is reported in an unusual deposit to carry out the egg-laying: pots of ornamental plants. These deposits of variable diameters and with earth bottom, are used to sow plants with diverse uses on the part of the family, which cannot be flamed, neither are generally abatized on the part of the specialized personnel of the vectors control net-work. However, the presence of larvae of Ae. aegypti in these deposits, is derived apparently of the intensive and extensive actions that are conducted in the health area attended by the University Polyclinic Ignacio Agramonte of Camagüey, therefore important, interesting behavioral modifications are operating in the vector that should be taking into account during the housings and locals inspection.

A Vigilância Entomológica há muito vem sendo usada como instrumento que tem bases técnica e ajuda a administrar e operacionalizar os indicadores nos programas e controle de vetores. Nesta revisão, inclui-se a definição conceitual, delineia-se a metodologia e intruduz-se o conceito de "inteligência" que deve ser usado na Vigilância Entomológica. Uma nova estrutura operacional é enfatizada no uso dos indicadores para prevenir e controlar as doenças veiculadas por artrópodes. Um destaque se dá ao sistema de informação entomológica, descrevendo os métodos baseados nas características do vetor e sua estreita associação com o homem, animais e parasitos. Assim, os estágios de implementação da Vigilância Entomológica nos municípios são propostos no estudo, enquanto se promove o "status" deste instrumento na saúde pública
Technical aspects of entomologic surveillance have long being used as a basic tool to administrate and implement vector control programs indicators. The conceptual framework and methodology of entomologic surveillance is reviewed in this paper and the concept of "intelligence" is introduced. A new operational structure that emphasizes the use of entomologic indicators to prevent and control arthropod-borne-diseases is presented. Special attention is given to the entomologic information system and the methods based on the biological characteristic of the vector and its close relationship to humans, animals and parasites are described. Stages to implement the Entomologic Surveillance in the municipalities are proposed and the importance of this tool in Public Health is discussed.
