Abstract
Dengue is caused by viruses from the Flaviviridae family, from the Flavivirus genus, and has been identified as one of the main vector-borne diseases in the world. According to the epidemiological picture of dengue in Brazil, a wide distribution of Aedes aegypti was observed in all regions with the circulation of three main viral serotypes (DENV1, DENV2 and DENV3) and a great possibility of the introduction of the DENV4 serotype. Its transmission involves vectors of the Aedes genus, with Aedes aegypti being responsible for the urban cycle of the disease. It is an acute disease that can progress to remission of symptoms, or worsening of the case followed by death, a fact that highlights the importance of effective control measures. This work was carried out through retrospective analytical descriptive research with theoretical foundations carried out through a bibliographic review in the Scielo, Scopus, Bireme, Lilacs, MEDLINE and DATASUS databases with the objectives of identifying the number of Dengue cases that occurred in the period 2018 to 2023, the prevention and control measures implemented by the state and the occurrence of possible environmental and human health changes related to the use of these compounds.
