O potencial dos pneus inservíveis como criadouros para o mosquito Aedes aegypti, vetor da Dengue, febre Chikungunya e Zika vírus, é amplamente conhecido. Este estudo teve como objetivos descrever a gestão dos pneus inservíveis no município de Chapecó e avaliar relação entre o número de pneus destinados à Reciclanip e o número de focos de A. aegypti registrados em pneus. A coleta de dados foi realizada no período de maio a agosto de 2016 e teve como base o período de 2010 a 2015. Dados foram obtidos no sitio eletrônico da DIVE/SC e junto ao setor de Vigilância em Saúde Ambiental do município de Chapecó. A quantidade de pneus inservíveis recebidos pelo ecoponto triplicou no período avaliado. A correlação entre a gestão ambientalmente correta dos pneus inservíveis e o número de focos de A. aegypti foi negativa (r = -0,79) e significativa (p0,05). Os resultados encontrados permitem inferir que a gestão ambientalmente correta dos pneus inservíveis contribui positivamente para a promoção da saúde pública, na prevenção da Dengue, febre Chikungunya e Zika vírus.Palavras-chave: Gestão de resíduos.

The aim of this study was to describe the management of waste tires in the municipality of Chapecó and to evaluate the relationship between the number of tires destined for Reciclanip and the number of A. aegypti outbreaks recorded in tires. Data collection was performed from May to August 2016 and was based on the period from 2010 to 2015. Data were obtained from the DIVE/SC website and from the Environmental Health Surveillance sector of Chapecó municipality. The amount of waste tires received by the ecopoint tripled in the evaluated period. The correlation between the environmentally correct management of the waste tires and the number of A. aegypti outbreaks was negative (r = -0.79) and significant (p 0.05). The results found allow to infer that the environmentally correct management of waste tires contributes positively to the promotion of public health in the prevention of Dengue, Chikungunya fever and Zika virus.Keywords: Waste management.

Objective: The purpose of this review was to discuss the effectiveness of public health policies in controlling Zika virus (ZIKV) in Brazil from 2015 to 2019 with an emphasis in the state of Pernambuco. Literature Review: Zika virus is an arbovirus primarily transmitted to humans by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Since 2015, the control of Aedes aegypti proliferation and diffusion has been a global subject of discussion due to its role in ZIKV transmission and the emergence of serious clinical symptoms resulting from this infection. In Brazil, the public policies established to control ZIKV outbreak were mostly based on vector control. Final Considerations: The coping model to manage the transmission vector of ZIKV is not showing to be effective.  Furthermore, until the social factors that favor the development and maintenance of mosquito breeding sites are eradicated, Brazil will continue to be susceptible to new outbreaks of mosquito-driven arboviruses. Here, we discussed the effectiveness of public health policies for the control of ZIKV in Brazil from 2015 to 2019, with a primary focus on the state of Pernambuco (PE).

Sirna Design

The disease caused by the Zika virus (ZIKV) has positioned itself as one of the main public health problems in Mexico. One of the main reasons is it causes microcephaly and other birth defects. The transmission of ZIKV is through Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus mosquitoes, which are found in a larger space of the national territory. In addition, it can also be transmitted via blood transfusion, sexual relations, and maternal-fetal route. So far, there are no vaccines or specific treatments to deal with this infection. Currently, some new therapeutics such as small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are able to regulate or suppress transcription in viruses. Therefore, in this project, an in silico siRNA was designed for the 3′UTR region of ZIKV via bioinformatics tools. The designed siRNA was synthesized and transfected into the C6/36 cell line, previously infected with ZIKV in order to assess the ability of the siRNA to inhibit viral replication. The designed siRNA was able to inhibit significantly (p<0.05) ZIKV replication; this siRNA could be considered a potential therapeutic towards the disease that causes ZIKV and the medical problems generated.

Zika Fever

UNSTRUCTURED Aedes aegypti is a vector for the transmission of diseases such as dengue fever, chikungunya, Zika fever, and yellow fever. In 2016, over one million cases of these diseases were reported in Brazil — an alarming public health issue. One of the ways of controlling the disease is by inspecting and neutralizing the places where the Aedes aegypti lays its eggs through the repository of data obtained from the Ministry of Planning, Development, and Administration. In this work, we propose a multi-criteria analysis to create an index for the inspections reported through the system. We applied part of the proposed analysis to a database of inspections in government buildings to test our proposition via the generation of a heat map, which let us draw some conclusions and propose future studies.

<p><strong>Introduction:</strong> The Zika Virus is a virus transmitted by the mosquito <em>Aedes aegypti</em>, which is of great medical importance because it causes numerous public health issues. <strong>Objective:</strong> The aim of this study is to describe the history of probable cases of the infection caused by the Zika Virus in the state of Rondônia from January 2016 to December 2018, demonstrating the relation between the evolution of cases (increase or decrease) with the rainfall indexes occurred during the study period. Additionally, to compare the reported cases in the state of Rondônia with the other states of the North region and to compare the reported cases in the North region with other regions of the country. <strong>Methods:</strong> The data collected for statistical analysis were acquired through epidemiological bulletins published by the Secretariat of Health Surveillance and by the Ministry of Health. <strong>Results:</strong> The data demonstrated a total of 1,107 probable cases of the acute disease caused by the Zika Virus between the years of 2016 and 2018 in the state of Rondônia, being that 89% of this total were registered only in 2016, demonstrating a relation with the high rainfall index occurred in the same year in the state. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Considering the findings of this study, the development of new studies addressing the clinical development of the disease among those notified with the infection becomes of extreme scientific relevance.</p>
