ABSTRACT
Introduction: Diseases transmitted by Aedes aegypti, cause great impacts on public health, considering that one sixth of humanity is affected by one or more vector-borne diseases.Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention strategy during the intensive phase against Aedes aegypti.
Method: An intervention study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the actions carried out during the intensive phase against Aedes aegypti at Ramón López Peña Polyclinic, in Santiago de Cuba municipality and province, during the period from August to September 2019. The working universe consisted of 3 Popular Councils in the health area. Initially, the behavior of entomological and clinical surveillance indicators was studied. The actions contained in the strategy were designed and implemented; later, for the final evaluation, the same indicators were evaluated.
Results: The home index decreased to 0.5%. Breteaux index remains above the home index, but with very little difference. The percentage of positive and reiterative blocks decreased to 36.9% and 25% respectively. There was a considerable increase in febrile, admissions and monoserum performed, as well as a decrease in reactivity and number of confirmed cases.
Conclusions: A decrease in the levels of Aedes aegypti infestation and a positive behavior in the main indicators of the program were achieved, with the starting point in the implementation of integrated, intersectoral actions and the participation of the community.
