Four were the events that took place, to an average of one positive sighting/introduction. The Health Care Area of Guaimaro reported three focuses (75 %) and Cascorro one (25 %), all of them occurred in the first semester of the year, to a ratio of one focus a month. Two kinds of vessels seated focuses: three small tanks (75 %) and a larva trap (25 %). In the home-to-home search for larvae 100 % of the households were inspected and treated. 59165 vessels were inspected of which 77,5 % were subject to some sort of treatment 24,5 % were destroyed and 43 % were flamed. 37,25 % were treated with insecticide pellets of the Abate brand.
