          Abstract

          Introducción: la determinación de los sitios de cría de Aedes aegypti constituye un factor de importancia para la aplicación de estrategias de control. Objetivo: identificar los depósitos utilizados por Aedes aegypti durante el período de uso operacional del biolarvicida Bactivec en el municipio Mariel. Métodos: de mayo 2008-2009, durante el período operacional del biolarvicida Bactivec, se realizó la búsqueda de criaderos positivos al culícido en áreas urbanas y semiurbanas de los consejos populares Boca/Mojica/Henequén, Mariel, Sabana/Zayas, Quiebra Hacha y Cabañas. Se identificaron todos los recipientes positivos al vector en las áreas en las que fueron colectados, se determinó el porcentaje de participación de cada tipo de recipiente en relación con el total de muestras positivas. Resultados: se identificaron 35 tipos de depósitos utilizados como sitio de cría del culícido. Los recipientes no útiles eliminables representaron el 54,28 %, los de almacenamiento de agua 14,29 % y los útiles 11,43 %; la presencia del vector del dengue en criaderos naturales y aguas contaminadas fue de 8,57 %. Conclusiones: los depósitos no útiles resultaron los más utilizados por el culícido para la puesta, seguido por los de almacenamiento de agua, los cuales se trataron con el biolarvicida. Se destaca la presencia de Aedes aegypti en aguas contaminadas, que también fueron tratadas con Bactivec.

          Introduction: the detection of breeding sites of Aedes aegypti is an important factor for the implementation of control strategies. Objective: to identify the reservoirs where Aedes aegypti mosquito was observed during the period of operational use of Bactivec larvicide in Mariel municipality. Methods: during the period of operational use of Bactivec biolarvicide from May 2008 to 2009, breeding sites positive for this mosquito were searched for in urban and semiurban areas of the people's councils Boca/Mojica/Henequen, Mariel, Sabana/Zayas, Quiebra Hacha y Cabanas. All the positive reservoirs were identified in those areas where they were collected and the percentage of involvement of each type of reservoir with respect to the total amount of positive samples was estimated. Results: thirty five types of reservoirs used as the breeding site of the mosquito were identified. The useless disposable reservoirs accounted for 54.28%, water storage reservoirs for 14.29 and the useful ones for 11.43 %. The presence of the dengue vector in natural breeding sites and in polluted waters reached 8.57 %. Conclusions: the useless reservoirs turned to be the most used by the Culicidae for egg-laying, following by the water storage ones which were treated with biolarvicide. Aedes aegypti was heavily present in polluted waters, which were also treated with Bactivec.

          Use of the pupal survey technique for measuring Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) productivity in Puerto Rico.

          The hypothesis tested was that most pupae of Aedes aegypti are produced in a few types of containers so that vector control efforts could concentrate on eliminating the most productive ones and thus prevent dengue outbreaks. Pupal surveys were conducted twice in 2004 in an urban area in southern Puerto Rico. A total 35,030 immature mosquitoes (III and IV instars, pupae) was counted in 1,367 containers found with water in 624 premises during the first survey. Only pupae were counted in the second survey in 829 premises, 257 of which had containers with water, and 124 contained Ae. aegypti pupae (15%, 22% in the first survey). We found fewer (583) containers with water than in the first survey, but 202 had pupae (35%; 18.5% in first survey). Containers yielded 3,189 Ae. aegypti pupae, which was slightly fewer than those found in the first survey (3,388 pupae). The hypothesis was supported by the data, showing that 7 of 18 types of containers contained 80% of all female pupae. The most productive containers generally were also common. We used several criteria (i.e., container use, two-step cluster analysis based on environmental variables of containers and premises) to classify the containers and premises and to evaluate pupal distribution at various spatial scales (container, premise, and residences versus public areas). Most pupae were in 4 of 10 types of container usage categories. The cluster technique showed that most pupae were in unattended, rain-filled containers in the yards, particularly in receptacles in the shade of trees that received rainfall through foliage and had lower water temperatures. Pupal counts were adjusted to a negative binomial distribution, confirming their highly aggregated dispersal pattern. Cluster analysis showed that 61.3% of female pupae were in 40 (6.4%) of 624 premises that had in common their larger yards, number of trees, and container water volume. Using number of Ae. aegypti larvae, Breteau Index, or the presence of immature forms as indicators of pupal productivity is not as efficient in identifying the most productive types of containers as direct pupal counts.

              Dengue y fiebre hemorrágica del dengue: un problema de salud mundial

              Desde épocas tan remotas como 1635 y 1699, el dengue ha sido considerado la enfermedad viral transmitida por mosquitos de mayor importancia médica. Dada la importancia de esta entidad al nivel mundial y particularmente para la región de las Américas, se hizo necesaria la búsqueda de una solución inmediata para abortar el desarrollo de la forma grave de la enfermedad. En este estudio se presentó una actualización del tema en aspectos tan importantes como: el espectro clínico de la enfermedad, las características del agente etiológico y los mecanismos inmunopatogénicos que tienen lugar en su interacción con el hospedero.
