ABSTRACT

Introduction: anti-vector work allows facing up and preventing the arbovirosis with a high hygienic and public health impact.
Objective: to characterize anti-vector work in a primary health care level institution.
Methods: a descriptive cross-sectional study carried out at Pedro Borras Astorga University Polyclinic, Pinar del Rio city, from July to November 2019. The variables collected were: index of vector infestation, participation of human resources, epidemiological indicators and results of the anti-vector work.
Results: in October and November the infestation indexes were low with 0.56 and 0.46 respectively, the work of the vector-control-operators was significant (42.17%). As the main epidemiological indicators 1 675 patients presented symptoms for arbovirosis, dengue fever was confirmed in 243 patients, whereas the results of the anti-vector work stood out the treatment to 71 535 houses, 33 288 people were surveyed, 1 549 people had fever stayed under surveillance and 174 housing blocks underwent treatment.
Conclusions: anti-vector work in the chosen polyclinic maintained higher infestation indicators, the human resources were efficient in the work and control activities they developed, the epidemiological indicators had a high hygienic and public health impact, as well as satisfactory results concerning the work against arbovirosis.
