Abstract

The study aims to implement community surveillance actions for Aedes Aegypti vector control in school environments in light of health promotion and eco-bio-social approaches. This qualitative research addresses the assumptions of action research. Recommended as an innovative technology for vector control in Brazil, eco-bio-social approaches play an essential role in the sustainability of combating Aedes Aegypti and the diseases it transmits. The article follows the methodology, data collection and results of the project. Individual and community surveillance and social participation actions are essential to rethink vector control strategies for transmission of Dengue, Chikungunya and Zika diseases.
