al conocimiento de que es el dengue, manifestaron tres de cuatro estudiantes (75%) que es
una enfermedad que se transmite por medio de la picadura de mosquito, sobre el
conocimiento del nombre del mosquito que transmite la enfermedad del dengue, dos de cada
tres estudiantes (65,75%) expresaron que es el Aedes aegypti, el restante desconoce su

criaderos de mosquitos la mayoría expresó que está presto a ayudar y colaborar (94,52%) y

Conclusión: Los estudiantes ratifican la presencia de casos de dengue en su entorno y los
conocimientos sobre dengue son escasos, lo que los lleva a adoptar prácticas de riesgo que

esta enfermedad, escasa colaboración; sin embargo, se evidencia una actitud favorable para
el control como la participación de la comunidad en trabajo colectivo, en su casa y en su
vecindario podría evitarse el riesgo de enfermar por Dengue.
