RESUMEN
OBJETIVO:
Determinar la importancia relativa de los tipos de criadero de Aedes aegypti para proponer intervenciones de control enfocadas en Morelos. MATERIAL YMÉTODOS:
Se realizaron muestreos transversales con colecta de pupas en Cuautla, Jojutla y Tlaquiltenango en temporada de sequía (1713 casas) y lluvias (1677) del año 2008. La importancia relativa de cada tipo de criadero se determinó por su contribución ( por ciento) a la producción pupal total por localidad.RESULTADOS:
En Cuautla, la mayoría de pupas se recolectaron en temporada de sequía de tanques/pilas (48.5 por ciento), tambos y botes/cubetas (15 por ciento c/u); en lluvias, los diversos chicos (21.3 por ciento), botes/cubetas (19.3 por ciento) y macetas/macetones (12.9 por ciento) fueron más productivos. En Jojutla y Tlaquiltenango, 97 por ciento de las pupas se colectaron de macetas/macetones en secas; durante las lluvias la mayoría de pupas se recolectaron de diversos chicos (26.3 por ciento), trastes de cocina/lavado (13.9 por ciento), botes/cubetas (12.9 por ciento) y macetas/macetones (12.7 por ciento), respectivamente.CONCLUSIÓN:
La prevención y control del vector del dengue deben basarse en este tipo de evidencias para focalizar las acciones sobre los criaderos más productivos.ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To determine the relative importance of Aedes aegyti breeding sites for potential targeted dengue control interventions in Morelos. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
Cross-sectional entomological surveys were conducted and collection of Ae. aegypti pupae was taken from all water-holding containers in Cuautla, Jojutla and Tlaquiltenango during dry (1 713 households) and rainy (1 677) seasons in 2008. Relative importance of different types of breeding sites was determined by the contribution ( percent) to total pupae production within each locality.RESULTS:
In Cuautla most pupae during the dry season were found in wash basins (48.5 percent), tanks and buckets/pots (15 percent each); during the rainy season, diverse small items (21.3 percent), buckets/pots (19.3 percent) and plant pots (12.9 percent) were more productive. In Jojutla and Tlaquiltenango, 97 percent of all pupae was found in plant pots during the dry season; during the rainy season diverse small items (26.3 percent), washing/cooking utensils (13.9 percent), buckets/pots (12.9 percent) and plant pots (12.7 percent) were significant.CONCLUSION:
Prevention and control of the dengue vector should be based on this kind of evidence to target the most productive breeding-sites.
