Abstract
Maragogipe is a city in the State of Bahia with an area of 440.2 km2 and 44,677 inhabitants, with constant variations between medium and high risk of outbreaks and epidemics for the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Daily control actions have a varied effect and at each evaluation the indicators have not evolved positively due to various environmental, social, economic and health factors that influence surveillance, control and assistance programs. In this scenario, validating the Pneutrap 3D ovitrap trap in the municipality, in addition to being strategic, is opportune for the municipality epidemiological scenario, since they are tools recommended by the Ministry of Health as a complement to Aedes aegypti surveillance methods. This project emerged from a partnership between the Ministry of Health and the Instituto de Politicas Publicas Nordeste Digital for the application of innovative and disruptive technologies in the cities of Maragogipe and Camaçari-BA in the year 2022. Thus, the objective of the work was to establish an efficient standard of use of the oviposition trap for use in the monitoring and control actions of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, in the municipality of Maragogipe, BA, validating the effectiveness of the Pneutrap 3D ovitrap trap and evaluating the behavior of the IIP (Building Infestation Index), before and after the application of the ovitrap. Initially, 25 agents of endemic diseases and five field supervisors were trained, both in epidemiological and entomological aspects, as well as in proper management techniques for applying ovitrap, in particular Pneutrap 3D. After evaluating the areas at risk, Maragogipe technical team chose a beach tourist area, with a recurrent concentration building infestation in the municipality. In the study area, 101 of the 392 properties were selected for the application of the ovitrap, using a drone to facilitate the area delimitation. Were applied 101 Pneutrap 3D ovitraps, with an interval of one trap every five houses, during two days of implantation, using 0.04% brewer's yeast as bait. Mosquito Zero app was used to geolocate each installed ovitrap. Inspections took place at fortnightly intervals for two months. During this period, it was possible to inspect 259 (64.11%) ovitraps, the rest not being evaluated due to refusal by the resident or closed properties. Eggs were found in 59.07% of the inspected ovitraps, ranging in average quantity from 10.59 to 73.96 eggs per trap every fortnight of evaluation. Indices of positive traps/inspected trap (IPO), number of eggs per straw/positive traps (IDO) and number of collected eggs/inspected traps (IMO) had a median of 59.7%, 30.4% and 15. 7%, respectively. In the initial period (April) of the study, the building infestation index (IIP) was 4.4%, having reduced to 1.25% in November. The Pneutrap 3D ovitraps proved to be easy to install and inspect, with the advantage of not generating a focus of infestation in those cases of delayed collection, facilitating the adequacy of inspections to the routine and eventualities presented to the work of health agents.
