Abstract
Purpose: to find out whether or not the community interventions that have been carried out to control arboviroses have been effective.
Method: a literature review based on collection and analysis of descriptive and comparative data related to the control of at least one of the following arboviroses: yellow fever, dengue fever, chikungunya, or zika, from a community perspective. The following databases were searched: Ovid/Medline(R), Pubmed, and Scielo, using search criteria that included original articles and revisions in English, Spanish, or Portuguese, published between 2013-2019, available on the Internet, in full text and with a free access.
Results: n= 11 studies showing that community interventions are effective in controlling arboviroses were selected. Such interventions resulted in an increased population's knowledge about arboviroses and an increased interest in participating in preventive measures, as well as a reduction in vector densities.
Conclusions: community interventions are effective and must be the fundamental axis in the control of arboviroses. Success in the prevention of arboviroses is based on community involvement, health education and how people's empowerment can control mosquito breeding sites.
