Surveillance and control of mosquito-borne diseases Aedes aegypti are priorities of the ArboAlvo Program. With the aim of expanding knowledge on the subject, the researchers train professionals from the Ministry of Health.
Thirteen professionals are taking part in the initiative, including biologists, entomologists, veterinarians and public health professionals who work in the areas of epidemiology, surveillance and vector control. Due to the Covid-13 pandemic, activities are carried out online. The course, which began on June 19, ends on July 12.
The training aims to develop skills for risk mapping and stratification of priority areas for interventions aimed at subsidizing strategies for surveillance and control of arboviruses, such as dengue, Zika and chikungunya.
"The course was designed to stimulate critical analysis of the challenging problem of arboviruses, to broaden the discussion on the importance of adopting new methodologies for surveillance with a view to controlling its main vector, Aedes aegypti, as well as to promote training of some ArboAlvo methodologies for stratifying risk areas for dengue, Zika and chikungunya", explains Nildimar Honório, coordinator of the initiative.
The ArboAlvo Program develops and applies methodologies to assist managers and teams of SUS professionals in optimizing surveillance actions and directing resources to combat arboviruses, as it identifies potential areas of greater risk through the integration of epidemiological indicators, entomological, socioeconomic and environmental factors.
The activity is the result of cooperation between the General Coordination of Arbovirus Surveillance (CGARB) of the Health Surveillance Secretariat of the Ministry of Health and the ArboTarget Program, linked to the Laboratory of Mosquitoes Transmitting Hematozoa of the Oswaldo Cruz Institute (IOC/Fiocruz) and the Sentinel Operational Nucleus of Vector Mosquitoes (Nosmove/Fiocruz). New stages of training are planned, with the participation of professionals from state and municipal health departments.
The ArboAlvo Program prioritizes the training of health professionals on methodologies for stratifying priority areas for intervention in urban arboviruses. The initiative is coordinated by IOC, in partnership with the Sérgio Arouca National School of Public Health (ENSP/Fiocruz), the Polytechnic School of Health Joaquim Venâncio (EPSJV/Fiocruz) and the Institute of Scientific and Technological Communication and Information in Health (ICICT/Fiocruz).
The Program also has researchers from the Scientific Computing Program (PROCC/Fiocruz), from the René Rachou Institute (Fiocruz Minas), the Institutes of Studies in Collective Health and Mathematics of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and the Institute of Mathematics and Statistics of the Fluminense Federal University (UFF).
