ABSTRACT
Since dengue fever has only recently appeared in the city of Marília, São Paulo, State, Brazil, and no fatal cases of the disease have yet to occur, dengue prevention is not a local priority. A dengue prevention program in one neighborhood made the tires, cans and bottles where mosquitoes breed its focus, and conducted an ethnography of refuse, including local classification of materials as useful or disposable in preparation for and educational intervention. The initial assumption was that patterns of refuse disposal are and individual choice, influenced by relatively static cultural definitions of what constitutes refuse. This gave way over the course of the project to a new, more dynamic and contextualized view, allowing for the influence of a system of selective refuse collection with participation of both householders and informal refuse collectors. The implications of the findings for programs to control other emerging infectious diseases are discussed.
