Protótipo de um sistema colaborativo para identificação de focos do mosquito Aedes Aegypti

Abstract

Dengue, Chikungunya and Zika diseases caused by viruses and transmitted by various species of mosquito of the genus Aedes, affect thousands of Brazilians every year, and are difficult to control. The difficulty of controlling these diseases comes from the fact that the sites that provide the conditions for the reproduction of the transmitting mosquito are abundant, some of them difficult to access or identified by the public health control programs that seek to eliminate these points. Aiming to reduce the difficulty of identifying mosquito breeder outbreaks, an opportunity was developed to develop a prototype of a collaborative system for identifying mosquito outbreaks, which is justified by the urgency and growth of the disease in Brazil. The public sector benefits from the tool, directing health workers more quickly to the points that contain the mosquito. One of the main characteristics of the system is the participation of the community in the task of registering the points with mosquito pictures, through an interface in the format of the map of the municipality of Pato Branco, and stored in the database as geographic points.
