Background: it is possible to identify institutions that use effectively, productive resources placed at their disposal, as well as to identify those inefficient units using data enveloping analysis. The Medicine and Complexity Center of Camagüey province, along with the Provincial Health Office and the Provincial Office of the fight against vectors, work in a joint project for the collection, analysis and data processing. Objective: to perform an analysis of relative efficiency of Aedes aegypti control in Camagüey municipality, which may be incorporated systematically into the created system. Method: an analysis of relative efficiency to nine health areas in Camagüey municipality related to the control of Dengue's vector was performed on July, 2010. The enveloping analysis technique, in particular the model constant returns to scale, input oriented model in envelopment form was used. The Ri software for its resolution was employed. Variables were assessed by its contribution of each with the statistical technique of main components; the 18 SPSS program was used. Results: selected income or expenditure: gasoline, diesel, insecticide, and number of men involved; as outputs or productions: amount of visited homes, samples of adults and larvae was carried out, and inspected deposits amount. The relative efficiency of each institution was showed, as well as the ones may serve as points of reference to the no efficient ones. A summary of the objectives to improve efficiency regarding income or expenditure also was expressed. Conclusions: the areas that operate with productive deficiencies were identified. Data enveloping analysis model may be inserted systematically with Ri open codes.
