Description
Abstract
El terremoto de 2010 en Haití agravó las condiciones higiénicas
sanitarias y ambientales, al aumentar la disponibilidad de sitios de
cría de mosquitos vectores. Ante esta situación, como parte de la
ayuda que Cuba brinda a este país, se incluyó la vigilancia y lucha
antivectorial como un componente importante en el control de las
enfermedades vectoriales. En el presente estudio se realizó un
muestreo larval de mosquitos en 35 comunas, distribuidas en los
10 departamentos de Haití en el período entre Junio 2010 - Junio,
2011, utilizándose la metodología recomendada por la OMS. Se
identificaron 21 especies. Las más abundantes y de mayor distribución
fueron Aedes aegypti, Culex quinquefasciatus, Anopheles
albimanus y Culex nigripalpus, constituyendo el 90,1% del total.
Durante este trabajo, se detectó la presencia de Aedes albopictus,
que constituyó el primer reporte de esta especie para Haití. Estos
resultados actualizados constituyen un aporte al conocimiento de
la fauna de mosquito en Haití.
ABSTRACT:The earthquake occurred in Haiti in 2010 led to a worsening of health and environmental sanitation, since the availability of breeding sites for mosquito vectors were increased. In this situation, as part of aid that Cuba offers to this country, a rapid field assessment of entomological surveillance, was included as an important component in the control of vector-borne diseases. The larval sampling was conducted in 35 districts distributed over 10 departments of Haiti in the period June 2010 - June, 2011, using the methods recommended by the WHO. 21 species of mosquito were identified. The most abundant and widely distributed species were Aedes aegypti, Culex quinquefasciatus, Culex nigripalpus and Anopheles albimanus, accounting for 90.1% of total samples. During the realization of this entomological survey was carried out the first record of Aedes albopictus in Haiti. These updated results are a contribution to the knowledge of the mosquitoes fauna in Haiti.
