niman Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Culex must modify combat zikacontrol actions of Aedes aegypti and muriçoca are different Tue Jun 21 06:26:00 EDT 2016 - Renata Coutinho, the Folha de Pernambuco André nery // Leaf FileThe larvicide, for example, is adopted to combat Aedes has no effect against muriçocainternational, national, state and municipal managers await confirmation of the presence of zika in gnats (Culex) Wild collected in RMR and are targets of a survey of Fiocruz Pernambuco. Preliminary results of the analysis identified the insect naturally contaminated in the streets, as the Folha de Pernambuco anticipated, rekindled the possibility of this vector also have contributed to the zika epidemic, especially in vulnerable areas without basic sanitation, such as Recife, which has only 32% sanitized. In the state are about 20%. On Monday (20), at aseminar organized by the State Secretary of Health (SES), experts gathered to discuss the surveillance measures and responses to arboviruses.For all, the expected confirmation of Culex represent a change in coping strategies. "The vector control actions are different complements. What we do to control the Aedes aegypti as the larvicide, for example, is not for the Culex. They are other actions. Basic sanitation is essential. But to rethink this control only from Fiocruz information ", said the executive secretary of Health Surveillance of SES, Luciana Albuquerque. Recife, who has waged a battle against muriçoca in past decades in the fight against filariasis, should start another journey. This time to contain the possible transmission of zika. "If confirmed, we will initiate appropriate control actions. We sat with some organs like Compesa and Department of Infrastructure, depending on Aedes, to discuss improvements in environmental and health conditions. Now, this conversation should be narrowed, "said the executive secretary of Health Surveillance of Recife, Cristiane Penaforte. Another challenge ahead is to know the infestation of gnats in cities that do not have a watch as present as the Aedes. "We do not do this scouting infestation there is no national policy for this. I believe that once disclosed the possibility of transmission, we have to do, "said Earthwatch manager Recife, Jurandir Almeida. The director of the Department of Communicable Disease MS, Eduardo Hage, preferred to be measured on the condition of muriçoca as possible zika vector. "If confirmed, will be a step in the matter of elucidating other potential transmitters of these viral diseases," he said. Hage added that often are detected virus other diseases mosquitoes, but they are not good transmitters. They do not have enough vectorial capacity. "Identifying the virus exists within the insect and can reproduce here is an important step. But there are other steps to be overcome so that will have epidemiological importance.
