BIOTECHNOLOGY PATENT AS A TOOL FOR PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF THE MOSQUITO Aedes Aegypti

RESUMOObjetivo: identificar os desafios enfrentados pelos agentes comunitários de saúde e agentes de combate a endemias na prevenção e controle da disseminação do mosquito Aedes aegypti. Método: estudo qualitativo realizado com 12 agentes comunitários de saúde e sete agentes de combate a endemias. Os dados foram produzidos a partir de entrevista semiestruturada e analisados com a técnica do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo. Resultados: verificou-se que as maiores dificuldades enfrentadas por estes agentes são o descaso, a falta de compromisso e a conscientização da comunidade, além da gestão, que não se apresenta de modo efetivo no processo. Conclusão: propõe-se, assim, uma maior efetivação das ações de educação em saúde junto à população, investimento em educação permanente e sensibilização da gestão pública. Descritores: Prevenção e controle; Participação da Comunidade; Saúde Pública; Vírus da Dengue; Zika Vírus; Vírus Chikungunya.ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the challenges faced by community health agents and agents to combat endemic diseases in the prevention and control of the spread of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Method: a qualitative study carried out with 12 community health agents and seven agents to combat endemic diseases. The data were produced from a semi-structured interview and analyzed using the Collective Subject Discourse technique. Results: it was verified that the greatest difficulties faced by these agents are the neglect, lack of commitment and awareness of the community, besides the management, that is not presented in an effective way in the process. Conclusion: it is proposed, therefore, a greater effectiveness of the actions of health education with the population, investment in permanent education and public management awareness.

Dengue Haemograffic fever is a vector borne disease which caused outbreaks and death. There is no applied vaccine until now, so the effort of prevention and control is to terminate chain of infection mosquito breeding. Factors which influenced the female mosquitoe to lay their eggsare type of container, color, water, temperature, water source, humidity and environment condition. This study was conducted to determine the preferences of Ae. aegypti mosquitoes to lay aggs in various colors ovitrap in the laboratory of Balai Litbang P2B2 Donggala, January until March 2015. Three repetitions with plastic cup black, blue, white, yellow and pink have been performed with water and filter pappers. 30 mosquitoes blood saturation included in the containers with various colors. The result showed that most of female mosquito laid their eggs in plastic cup black (53,2%). ANOVA analysis showed that the diversity of colors ovitrap produce different the number of eggs Ae. aegypti in each type of countainer color. It is recommended to use black ovitrap for controling populations of Ae, aegypti in environment with regular monitoring.

Flavivirus Infection

Yellow fever is an acute mosquito-borne flavivirus infection characterized in its full-blown form by fever, jaundice, albuminuria, and haemorrhage. Two forms are distinguished: urban yellow fever in which the virus is spread from person to person by peridomestic Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and jungle (sylvan) yellow fever transmitted by tree-hole breeding mosquitoes between non-human primates and sometimes humans. Yellow fever is endemic and epidemic in tropical areas of the Americas and Africa but has never appeared in Asia or the Pacific region. Prevention and control are effected principally through yellow fever vaccination.

Dengue prevention and control still depend on insecticides usage. Household insecticides were the most preferable choice to prevent and control Aedes aegypti at settlements. The purpose of this study was to analyze the usage of household insecticides to prevent and control Ae. aegypti in settlement, especially in North Sumatra Province. The research was conducted during April-November 2015. The larvae examination and interviews were conducted on 900 respondents in three districts in North Sumatra Province (Tebing Tinggi, Pematang Siantar and Deli Serdang). The results of the study showed that the house index, container index, breteau index and densty figure in three districts were revealed that the regions were at moderate and high risk of dengue transmission. Most people in three districts use household insecticide at night to prevent dengue transmission. In conclusion, the household insecticides usage by the community in North Sumatra Province is ineffective to Ae. aegypti prevent and control in settlements, because the community only use adulticide and the time of use of insecticide is not in accordance with the activities of Ae. aegypti to transmit DHF during the daytime without any larva control activity.
