Aedes aegypti., Controle de Vetores, LegislaçãoAbstract
As the diseases transmitted by the mosquito Aedes aegypti spread, there is an
increasing number of strategies of combat and control of this vector. Among
the strategies to control these diseases, a prominent one is the legislation that
imposes a punitive character, such as the application of fines. Accordingly,
the municipalities’ health secretariats elaborate their own legislation
contemplating local specificities. The region of the Epidemiological
Surveillance Group (GVE) XX Piracicaba, SP has reported dengue
epidemics since the 1990s and more recently has observed other arboviruses
such as chikungunya and Zika. This work aimed to identify the applicable
legislation elaborated by the municipal teams in the region of GVE XX to
combat the vector Aedes aegypti and to recognize advances and difficulties
in its application. The results show that among the 26 municipalities in the
area covered by the GVE XX, 17 (65%) approved legislation to implement
penalties. The study allowed to identify the situation of municipalities in
the GVE XX region regarding the existence and application of their own
legislation in vector control, concluding that municipalities still face
difficulties for the application of these legislations and that the regional level
can support the teams in the elaboration and application of legislation.
