Guadalajara, Jalisco .- The challenge for the Ministry of Health in Jalisco (SSJ) for this 2011 is that there is no dengue patient Jalisco, to a week that totals close the year ended, the unit ensures that there is a 76 percent decrease compared to 2009.

In the penultimate week of the year 2010 there were three new cases of dengue fever in the municipality of Guadalajara, however, that no more patients in Jalisco must pass a month without registration.

Therefore various ovitraps placed to evaluate the density of the vector and to determine whether the female mosquito Aedes aegypti continues to circulate and what weather keeps coming back.

The epidemiologist at the SSJ, Yolanda Capuchino Monrreal, explained that there are multiple determinants for further transmission, "First would be the environmental performance of the virus vector, which probably has more ability to fly and probably has a longer life ".

Another factor could be the host in conditions where it is highly susceptible because it has not had contact with the vector and another key point of the climate factors, experts attribute the presence of vectors of different communicable diseases to climate change.

It should be noted that during 2009, "Year of epidemics," at no time was cut transmission of the disease and in 2010 only two weeks, there were no cases.

He explained that the chain of transmission is to "break when they have no cases for certain periods-followed-incubation, is one and the other that we no longer have larval indices that give us risk factors."

To date, totaling 1,071 confirmed cases of which 43 were type thousand classic and 128 hemorrhagic, about two years ago that ended with four thousand 919 people sickened by the mosquito that transmits dengue.

The decrease of 76 percent, Dr. Cappuccino Monrreal attributed it to the various actions that had been gradually throughout the year that ended, which were reinforced from the second quarter before the rainstorm.

Among the programs carried out on the whole health sector, metropolitan councils and the population stands: change of insecticide, making a more intensive larval control and know the density of the population vector by placing ovitraps.

Which are used as a tool to determine the distribution of Aedes aegypti mosquito, to measure the seasonal distribution of populations and to evaluate the efficacy of insecticide application.

And the training of medical personnel regarding the diagnosis and treatment of disease, the epidemiologist said: "This helped to reduce complications and the number of hospitalizations, the cost of the institution and the number of deaths."

During the year, set up health information systems via the Internet to learn of the probable cases and work in locations within 24 hours to control and contain a possible outbreak by the brigades of the Ministry of Health.

The system also was programmed to evaluate the actions related to a weekly larval control, the report until week 51 indicates that about two thousand 300locations were treated with fumigation and abatizaci?n and motomochila were 177 thousand houses.

He urged the general public to keep clean patios and rooftops to prevent the vector continues to affect the health of the population of the state of Jalisco.
