Fatores que interferem nos casos de dengue em Campina Grande–PB: um estudo exploratório.

Abstract

Dengue epidemics, related to the main vector, the Aedes Aegypti mosquito, have been part of the Brazilian reality since the beginning of the 20th century, whether in the various dengue serotypes DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, DENV-4, or at Zika virus or Chikungunya fever. This variety of diseases transmitted by the mosquito, as well as its perpetuation in Brazilian history and society for so long, can be justified by its high capacity and ease of adaptation to various socio-environmental, meteorological, economic and cultural conditions. Natural and anthropic factors, in most cases, are placed as the main motivators of Aedes-related epidemics. Therefore, the research aims to analyze social and meteorological factors that affect the number of dengue cases in Campina Grande - PB. For the feasibility of this research, the procedures of survey of references and document survey were followed. As a result, it was possible to perceive the need for the applicability of public policies so that they reach the most varied spaces of society and so that there is an awareness of the problem of dengue, making possible an alignment involving the public sector and its managers, the private sector and society, in its varied scope, in the application of the policy for vector control.
