HOYOS RIVERA, Antulio; HERNANDEZ MELENDREZ, Edelsys  y  PEREZ RODRIGUEZ, Antonio. Results of a communitarian intervention about dengue in San Mateo, Anzoategui, Venezuela 2007-2008. Rev haban cienc méd [online]. 2010, vol.9, n.2, pp.263-271. ISSN 1729-519X.

A three phase research about dengue was carried out through a strategy of communitarian intervention. In the first stages, a descriptive study was performed to characterize the prevalence of dengue and to assess the level of knowledge of the population about the disease. In the second t stages he intervention was designed an implemented. In the third phase the evaluation of the strategy was carried out in San Mateo, Municipio Libertad, Anzoategui in the Republic of Venezuela from may 2007 to may 2008. A sample of 535 people was selected from a population of 15,000. The percentage and its confidence interval were used to measure the prevalence and the level of knowledge about the disease. The high prevalence of dengue in the neighborhood is the result of not to know about the disease and the presence of the vector, which is the basic condition to transmit the disease. The presence of the vector is an indirect marker of the poor hygienic condition of the population and the breeding of vectors at homes. It was demonstrated that there are four basic elements for the control: the political will, interactive coordination among places,the active participation of the community and the strengthening of sanitary laws.

Palabras clave : Strategy; intervention; prevalence; dengue.
