Resumo: Aedes aegypti is the main domestic vector of the dengue virus. Control measures to prevent dengue transmission focus on the treatment and elimination of this vector's oviposition sites. There is limited biological information on Ae. aegypti in Argentina. The aim of this study was to characterize Ae. aegypti oviposition sites in the city of Puerto Iguazú, Argentina. We surveyed an area covering nine neighborhoods in 2005. We identified 191 premises as positive for Ae. aegypti, giving a general house index of 9.6%. Premises classified as residential and vacant lots presented the highest number of infested premises, with 9% and 22% respectively. The total number of surveyed containers was 29,600. The overall container index (CI) was 1.1. The most frequently infested containers were water tanks (CI = 37). These preliminary results suggest that vacant lots and water tanks provide suitable breeding areas and environmental conditions, improving the chances of Ae. aegypti survival in Puerto Iguazú.

Existe limitada información de la biología del Ae. aegypti en Argentina. Con el fin de identificar los sitios de oviposición de Ae. aegypti en la ciudad de Puerto Iguazú, Argentina, se estudió un área compuesta por nueve barrios durante el año 2005. Se registraron 191 inmuebles positivos sobre un total de 1.977 inspeccionados. La categoría "vivienda" fue la más numerosa, y donde se encontró el mayor número de inmuebles positivos, el porcentaje de infestación fue del 9%. La categoría "baldío" registró un porcentaje de infestación de 22%. El número total de recipientes potenciales inspeccionados fue de 29.600 y 1,1% de los recipientes resultaron positivos. Por otro lado, la mayor proporción de criaderos positivos perteneció a la categoría tanques de altura (37%). Estos resultados preliminares sugieren que sitios baldíos y tanques de altura proveen posibles áreas de reproducción y condiciones ambientales que mejoran las posibilidades de supervivencia de Ae. aegypti.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2012-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/4919Reports in Public Health; Vol. 28 No. 9 (2012): SeptemberCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 28 n. 9 (2012): Setembro1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/4919/10053https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/4919/10054Costa, FedericoFattore, GladysAbril, Marceloinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:28:27Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/4919Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:05:40.117761Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true
