From the survey conducted by the Malaria Control service:

Ø The barangay's probable vectors of transmission include

Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus, and Culex
quinquifasciatus.
Ø The home index of 53% and the breteau index of 82%
both have a high population of vector mosquitoes,
facilitating viral transmission.
Aedes aegypti, Interventions:
Ø The removal of possible mosquito breeding areas within
Aedes albopictus, and outside of homes, schools, and businesses is one of
and Culex the most effective vector control methods.

Environment
§ The community can contribute to keeping
the environment clean and controlling a
chikungunya epidemic by removing vector
breeding places and reducing human
interaction with the vector.
§ Cleanliness and basic sanitation in peri-
domestic and public areas should be the
focus of social mobilization activities.
§ Because some adult mosquito control
measures, such as fogging, which are
commonly employed by local governments,
may not be enough to successfully contain
an outbreak, community empowerment and
mobilization are essential for chikungunya
prevention and control.
As per the study, an outbreak of
Chikungunya Fever occurred in
Barangay Pulo, Indang, Cavite:
Ø Brgy. Pulo is an agricultural village
Ø Estimated population of 500.
Ø The area has a large vegetation of
coffee, and other fruits and
vegetable.
Ø There is also an undeveloped spring,
which is the main source of water in
the barangay.
Ø Weeds are abundant in the
backyards and vacant lots.
Ø Each household has a rainwater
collection drum.
Interventions:
Ø Weeds in the backyard and vacant
lots should be cut on a regular basis.
Ø Drums and other containers need to
be securely covered.
Ø The underdeveloped spring should
be cleaned and maintained on a
regular basis.
