ABSTRACT

Infrastructure and human resources in the country are exceeded by the community claim every day, this is because the population growth has a high increase; on the other hand, the good work of health worker has obtained to increase the hope of life, all these are not proportional to the available resources for their attention, for that it is necessary to find new strategies that can help the actions directed to preserve life get to the population taking advantage of the resources. Dengue is a priority for Public Health in Nuevo León (México), and new alternatives for its control are necessary; the strategy that has been used in the community by the Health Services is the application of larvicides through home visits or the distribution of this product in health units or places where people usually go (shopping centers, supermarkets, schools and so on), of course this strategy requires a lot of people, on the contrary the use of tank trucks with Bti reduces the utilization of human resources but not the visited homes. In the current research bioinsecticide Vectobac 12 AS is used, it contains Bacillus thuringiensis var israelensis which was introduced in tank trucks that distribute water to several communities of the metropolitan area, and when the population has this resource, it has a product that will stop the biological circle of Aedes aegypti (L) vector of Dengue virus.
