A biotecnologia da dengue: uma revisão bibliográfica.

Abstract

Aedes aegypti popularly known as Mosquito-of-Dengue or brindle mosquito, belongs to Culicidae family, from Africa, cosmopolitan tropical and subtropical regions of anthropophilic habitat needs human presence to be established. This mosquito is responsible for transmitting a variety of diseases, including dengue, which is classified into four well-defined types, which are: D1, D2, D3, D4 3. This disease has two forms of the disease development: the classic and hemorrhagic. The second, being the most aggressive to the body, leading to death in many cases. Furthermore, it is also a vector of yellow fever in endemic regions. This study aims to literature of recent biotechnology applicable to the dengue mosquito, and to clarify and update data regarding of dengue Proliferating in Brazil and the world, in addition to cataloging the reader about, as the development of this disease, taking into account various characteristics such as: stages of the life cycle, habitat, and the vector itself. This study was conducted through the book report articles with keywords such as biotechnology, dengue, the mosquito vector and thus bringing a review of the main information on this subject. The results showed that natural biopesticides like cashew bark is a viable alternative, non-polluting, low cost, unlike temephos, which is currently used for the control of dengue which which have been cited other biotechnologies that are still in process of study is the case of transgenic mosquitoes, the vaccine and the mosquitoes genetically modified. Other innovations such as monitoring programs, field work, permanent education are cited and used in sporadic places or even day-to-day combat agents endemics, but they did not achieve the necessary effectiveness to be considered a total control of biotechnology. This study certainly contribute to the rapid clarification of the population, as well as specialized human resources on the current state of research, involving the mosquito and dengue own, thus contributing to the development of future studies.
