With regard to zika, the survey shows that the risk of transmission is considered low. In the state, there are 897 records of the disease (incidence of 27 to 100 thousand) this year. In 2017, there were 2,595. In total, seven deaths occurred in the state, five of which are under investigation. Of the total, three deaths by chikungunya and four dengue deaths
Faced with this situation, the authorities reinforce the need to fight against the mosquito Aedes aegypti, which transmits to three diseases, even in the dry season. Even during periods of drought, the transmitter lives and breeds in and around homes. Hence the importance of the population to act in cleaning the main breeding sites by avoiding the development of the vector and by preventing eggs, larvae and mosquito pupae from reaching the age adult.
Among the main mosquito breeding sites in the domestic environment are: water, drains, slabs, gutters, plant dishes, glbad chips in the walls, tires, potted plants, swimming pools, etc.
