Resumen
El Aedes aegypti es el principal vector del Dengue, Fiebre Amarilla, Chikungunya y Zika, que constituyen problemas prioritarios de salud a nivel mundial. Se lo considera una especie cosmopolita asociada a las actividades y distribución humana. La urbanización del mosquito ha dado lugar al incremento de hábitats de reproducción del mosquito, siendo éste intra y peridomiciliar. Se han utilizado medidas múltiples para su control, como el control físico, biológico (larvicidas), químico (DDT) este último como contaminante orgánico y que ha provocado resistencia. Hasta el momento es el control del vector la única medida para prevenir estas enfermedades, siendo la intervención comunitaria un aspecto prioritario para le ejecución de planes como el Control biológico que consiste en la utilización de elementos vivos para la depredación de larvas; no implementado con anterioridad en nuestro país. El objetivo de este trabajo es Analizar las medidas preventivas aplicadas para evitar el contagio de infecciones tropicales transmitidas por el mosquito Aedes aegypti por los pacientes atendidos en el centro médico Balerio Estacio. La metodología de investigación es cualitativa, en donde se aplicaron encuestas a los pacientes del centro médico Balerio Estacio en relación a nivel de conocimientos, medidas de control y prevención de contagio de enfermedades producidas por el mosquito Aedes Aegypti. La propuesta de solución es el uso del copépodo Mesocyclops como método de control biológico, planificando su distribución, aplicación y mantenimiento; siendo un método de beneficio ecológico, económico y social.
Aedes aegypti is the main vector of dengue, yellow fever, Chikungunya and Zika, which are priority health problems worldwide. It is considered a cosmopolitan species associated with human activities and distribution. Mosquito urbanization has led to increased mosquito breeding habitats, this being intra and peridomiciliary. We used multiple control measures, such as physical, biological control (larvicides), chemicals (DDT) latter as organic pollutant and has caused resistance. So far vector control is the only measure to prevent these diseases, where Community intervention a priority for the execution of plans such as biological control is the use of living elements for the predation of larvae appearance; not implemented before in our country. The aim of this paper is to analyze the preventive measures to prevent the spread of tropical infections Aedes aegypti mosquito by the patients treated at the medical center Estacio Balerio transmitted. The research methodology is qualitative, where surveys were administered to patients Balerio Estacio medical center in relation to level of knowledge, control measures and prevention of transmission of diseases caused by the mosquito Aedes Aegypti. The proposed solution is the use of copepod Mesocyclops as biological control method, distribution planning, implementation and maintenance; It is a method of ecological, economic and social benefit.
