RESUMEN

Objetivos:

Determinar la presencia, magnitud y expansión de Aedes aegypti en las localidades rurales de las provinciasde Jaén y San Ignacio, departamento de Cajamarca. Materiales y

métodos:

Estudio transversal realizado entreabril y mayo de 2004, en 21 (100) localidades rurales ubicadas en las márgenes de la carretera Jaén-San Ignacioy al interior de ella, hasta en 90 minutos. Se inspeccionó recipientes de 1460 viviendas para la búsqueda de larvas yadultos del mosquito, se determinaron los índices aédicos, de recipiente y de Breteau.

Resultados:

Se demostró lapresencia de Aedes aegypti en tres localidades rurales de la provincia de Jaén y en cuatro de la provincia de San Ignacio.Los índices aédicos variaron de 1,2 a 16,6 . Los recipientes infestados con mayor frecuencia fueron las llantas ylos artículos en desuso.

Conclusiones:

Se reporta la expansión de A. aegypti en la tercera parte de localidades ruralesde las provincias de Jaén y San Ignacio; esta expansión necesita ser más estudiada y considerada al implementarselas estrategias de prevención y control del dengue en la DISA Jaén, para evitar la aparición de brotes de dengue clásico,dengue hemorrágico, incluso fiebre amarilla urbana.
ABSTRACT

Objectives:

Determine the presence, magnitude and spread of Aedes aegypti in rural locations of the Jaen and San Ignacio provinces, department of Cajamarca. Materials and

methods:

Cross-sectional study conducted between April and May 2004 in 21 (100%) rural locations alongside the Jaen-San Ignacio road and on the road itself, up to 90 minutes. Artificial containers from 1460 houses were inspected for larvae and adult mosquitos. Aedic indexes from the container and Breteau indexes were derived.

Results:

The presence of Aedes aegypti was demonstrated in three rural locations of the province of Jaén and in four locations of the province of San Ignacio. Aedic indexes varied from 1,2 and 16,6%. The containers most frequently infested were tires and discarded items capable of holding water.

Conclusions:

The spread of A. aegypti is reported in one third of the rural locations of the provinces of Jaen and San Ignacio. This spread warrants further study and needs to be taken into consideration when dengue prevention and control strategies are implemented for the Jaen Health Directorate. Outbreaks of dengue fever, dengue hemorrhagic fever, and even urban yellow fever can be reduced if control measures can more accurately target the breeding areas of the vector.
