On the afternoon of this Monday, April 29th, the Zoonoses Center began the chemical control service in places where there are records of Dengue cases in Picos. The service is carried out using spray equipment with a chemical solution to combat the proliferation of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which transmits Dengue, Zika virus and Chikungunya. This week, the team focuses its efforts on the Paraibinha/Cohab, Ipueira and Conjunto Habitacional Lousinho Monteiro neighborhoods, carrying out rigorous chemical control in the region.
The next targets will be the neighborhoods that are on the list of areas affected by the disease. From January to April Picos has already registered 9 cases of Dengue, so there are 9 areas that will receive men with spraying equipment this month.
The strategy adopted by the Zoonosis Center is to direct chemical control to places where Dengue cases have been reported. To this end, the action is extended to a radius of 150 meters from the location of notification, aiming to cover areas with greater potential for mosquito spread.
In addition to the three neighborhoods already mentioned, another 6 points are being closely monitored by endemic agents, aiming to identify areas that also require this type of intervention.
The Picos Zoonosis Center reinforces the importance of community collaboration in the fight against Aedes aegypti, providing guidance on the elimination of possible mosquito breeding sites in their homes and nearby areas. Awareness and joint action are essential to ensure a safer and healthier environment for everyone.
