GONZALEZ RODRIGUEZ, Raidel. Behavior of anti-vector work in a primary health care institution. Rev Ciencias Médicas [online]. 2020, vol.24, n.6 Epub 01-Dic-2020. ISSN 1561-3194.
Introduction:
anti-vector work allows facing up and preventing the arbovirosis with a high hygienic and public health impact.

in October and November the infestation indexes were low with 0.56 and 0.46 respectively, the work of the vector-control-operators was significant (42.17%). As the main epidemiological indicators 1 675 patients presented symptoms for arbovirosis, dengue fever was confirmed in 243 patients, whereas the results of the anti-vector work stood out the treatment to 71 535 houses, 33 288 people were surveyed, 1 549 people had fever stayed under surveillance and 174 housing blocks underwent treatment.
Conclusions:
