The scheduled campaign will continue until January 31 in other neighborhoods and will search about 17,000 properties distributed over more than 3,000 blocks within 42 areas registered in the municipality. This year, 2022, the survey conducted in January revealed that the Breteau index is 1.10.
Based on the data obtained in this assessment, the best methods for disease control will be determined in the coming period. For example, you can redirect and intensify some measures or change the mosquito control strategies approved by your municipality.

Maggot ratings aside, City Hall maintains several virus vector control measures in all areas of the city. Among them is the process that visits places with higher larval rates to eliminate things that can accumulate water and serve as a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
Endemic disease control teams are constantly promoting educational work and guiding the population to take the necessary measures to avoid disease risks.
Residents can help, too. If you identify any potential breeding areas for Aedes aegypti, simply call Central 156 (phone, website, app).
