ABSTRACT:
INTRODUCTION
Arboviruses are diseases caused by hundreds of viruses transmitted by arthropods, with a prevalence in hematophagous mosquitoes, and are a major problem in global public health. More than one arbovirus can be transmitted by the same vector, as is the case of Aedes aegypti, a mosquito that transmits the DENV, ZIKV and CHIKV viruses, causing dengue, zika and chikungunya, respectively (Donalisio et al., 2017). As a predominantly tropical country, Brazil goes through epidemiological cycles of arboviruses throughout its territorial extension, in the perimeters of cities, as well as in their surroundings, with the occurrence of epidemiological outbreaks (Avelino-Silva and Ramos, 2017).
