[Integrated control of the filariasis vector with community participation in an urban area of Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil]

Abstract:

:A pilot study for the control of Bancroftian filariasis transmission was developed in two areas of Recife, Brazil, where microfilaraemic prevalence was 10% in 1991. Mass treatment with diethylcarbamazine (DEC) using low and spaced doses was employed in both areas. In one such instance, DEC therapy was associated with vector control using physical measures and periodic treatment of Culex breeding sites with the entomopathogen Bacillus sphaericus. The vector population density, reaching 60 - 120 Culex/room /night before the intervention, was drastically reduced to 4 - 16 Culex/room/night, and maintained at this level for more than two years. Actions to engage the local school community in the vector control process were implemented, and as a consequence several classroom and extracurricular activities were put into practice, culminating with the effective participation of a team of students called the "Vector Vigilantes", in the application of control measures against the vector. The enthusiastic involvement of schoolteachers and students pointed to schools as a place amenable to programs such as this.
