Abstract

This PhD thesis (IG/UFU) is result of studies and research such as the community mobilization, as strategy of Healthy Promotion, in the control of Aedes and dengue prevention, through the contributions of ovitraps and the Brigade of Environmental Agents Mirins, District Martinésia, Uberlândia (MG), Brazil, can make a difference in the quality of people life. Dengue is one of the most important arboviruses affecting humans and constitutes a serious public health problem in tropical and subtropical regions, depending on environmental conditions (°C and mm) and inappropriate behavior of people incorrectly accumulating water in breeding. Dengue is an infectious disease caused by the Flavivirus virus, which can be transmitted by two species (Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus). The ovitrampa is a trap adapted artificial black flowers in pots of 500 ml, with no holes in the bottom, with a palette of Eucatex immersed in water up to half, where females made oviposition, installed and monitored in 21 blocks, mapping and detecting early presence of Aedes, in all seasons, totaling 3091 eggs. The predominant were Aedes albopictus (80%), Aedes aegypti (5%) and Culex (15%), depending on the environmental conditions of the District (rural), urbanization and afforestation of each block. To accomplish this set of activities with input from students and staff of the Municipal School Antonino Martins da Silva , it took a total of approximately, 184 and 860 hours shifts. These displacements were necessary to perform a set of 27 activities in three modes (with the School in the School, the School District and outside the School District). Community mobilization allowed to permeate the social intercultural relationships with and among residents, especially with students and teachers that led some content in the classroom and perform activities differently. Therefore, we believe that the school is not separated from other environmental relationships, which make up the different areas of knowledge and practices, subjects who took over the time and everywhere. This confirms the idea of health promotion in the design setting Communication and Health , held by Russian linguist Mikhail Bakhtin, who proposed the concept of polyphony , ie, that communication should be viewed not only as information transmission, but as a production process and new meanings of social meanings, embodying the propositions advocated the importance of practicing health promotion, while according to Public Policy which was endorsed in 1986, the Ottawa Charter (Ottawa, Canada) Health Promotion that corresponds to a set of processes of empowering communities to work improving their quality of life, reinforcing the importance of greater participation of the individual in his social group as control and empowerment of this process.
