American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) is a focal disease whose surveillance and control require complex actions. The present study aimed to apply integrated tools related to entomological surveillance, environmental management, and health education practices in an ACL-endemic area in Rio de Janeiro city, RJ, Brazil. The distribution of the disease, the particular characteristics of the localities, and entomological data were used as additional information about ACL determinants. Environmental management actions were evaluated after health education practices. The frequency of ACL vectors Lutzomyia (N.) intermedia and L. migonei inside and outside houses varied according to environment characteristics, probably influenced by the way of life of the popular groups. In this kind of situation environmental management and community mobilization become essential, as they help both specialists and residents create strategies that can interfere in the dynamics of vector's population and the contact between man and vectors.
美洲皮肤利什曼病(ACL)是一种局部性疾病,其监测和控制需要采取复杂行动。本研究旨在将与昆虫学监测、环境管理和健康教育实践相关的综合工具应用于巴西里约热内卢市一个ACL流行地区。疾病分布、当地的特殊特征以及昆虫学数据被用作有关ACL决定因素的补充信息。在健康教育实践之后对环境管理行动进行了评估。房屋内外ACL病媒中间罗蛉和米氏罗蛉的出现频率因环境特征而异,这可能受到当地人群生活方式的影响。在这种情况下,环境管理和社区动员变得至关重要,因为它们有助于专家和居民制定能够干预病媒种群动态以及人与病媒接触的策略。
