    County stands out with the new formula to combat dengue


    Campaign wins Spray repercussions throughout the country as an innovation to prevent epidemic that threatens the country

    Mayor Paulo MacDonald fired the Church bell at exactly 21 hours. The sirens of the truck from the Fire Department and the Municipal Guard were activated in the main streets and avenues. The alert served to draw the public's attention to the beginning of the campaign "Kill the Mosquito! Protect Your Family. "
    The residents, for five days, always in the same time, should apply the spray inside houses freely distributed by the city. The new way to fight Aedes aegypti won repercussions throughout the country especially including major news networks such as Jornal Nacional, Rede Globo , Globo News, Rede Record, Band, SBT and Folha Online. "I was raised in a inner city. When the bell rang, the community gathered. I had the pleasure of ringing the bell to mark the beginning of this great campaign, which will change the history of dengue in Brazil. Our example will be followed by other cities. This is the contribution of people of Foz do Iguacu to combat this serious problem, "the mayor said, still panting after exertion in a good cause. One of the main Brazilian TV news highlighted the unprecedented initiative. Images from a resident County spraying the product inside the house were broadcast on national television for more than 40 million viewers. Residents of other countries will also know the action against dengue through the international channel, broadcast to Brazilians living in five continents. After the live broadcast, made ​​by Globo affiliate in Parana, RPC / TV journalist and presenter, William Bonner, praised the action and emphasized the need for other Brazilian cities follow the example of Foz do Igua?u in the fight against dengue. In the neighborhoods, the population started punctually, the application of the spray inside the houses, showing that the city is mobilized in the fight against the disease. On time, bells rang, sirens cars, security agencies were activated, fireworks detonated buzina??o into 22 regions and throughout the city. The campaign strategy is to eliminate the female, preventing the proliferation of the mosquito. According to the CCZ (Center for Zoonosis Control), 85% of the breeding places are indoors. The spraying of the insecticide must be done behind refrigerators, cabinets and desks with computers, and under the bed of the tank into the barbecue, the lining and dark places, in drains and sinks in the bathroom. "It is important that action is made ​​at the same time for all people, as well as the female, who can not move by more than 400 meters, run away to neighbors. In these five days is also important to keep the yards and grounds clean and at night to perform the chemical control Aedes aegypti. You must use a small amount of product in the rooms, "recommended the Director of Health Surveillance, Cassio Lobato. The city has distributed 80 000 sprays house and home, with the support of three thousand volunteers, and teams of Army officers health, CCZ and agents of endemic diseases. The product has been donated by multinational SC Johnson, maker of Raid. Residents who were not in residence were allowed to purchase the product for free in health centers by delivering a warning. Method Traditional methods of controlling the mosquito that transmits dengue are no longer sufficient to contain the disease. And this summer we approach the entire country faces the threat of the worst epidemic in history with the aggravating factor of Dengue 4. The elimination of standing water and cleaning the city should continue because they represent an effective method in reducing outbreaks. However, adult mosquitoes lay eggs and it still needs to be eliminated by chemical methods. The innovative shape found in Foz do Iguacu - and this should be the first city to do a pilot project - was the free distribution of insecticide spray in all the residences. Each resident, at one time, established by the City (21 hours) makes the spray from his residence, where they are 85% of the mosquitoes. The city has studied the behavior of the mosquito. The strategy is justified because the mosquito primarily hides in dark places of the house and beneath the bed, behind the TV, on top of the wardrobe, under the computer desk, ceiling, bathroom drain, under the tank and inside the grill. After feeding, the female mosquito is four days hidden and fertilizing eggs. Then she goes in search of breeding. Eggs are released in several locations and can survive for up to 300 days. Therefore, the strategy is to eliminate the female inside the house, with the participation of all. The application, in the same time, in all cases prevents the mosquito escape from one environment to another. As for vacant lots and places outside the CCZ applies the operation of smoke and collapsing debris through collective effort.
