RESUMO:

Dengue is a disease associated to many adverse effects on the Brazilian economy, represented not only by health care expenditures, but also by the loss of productivity of the workers and by the decrease in tourism revenues. Since 2002, there was an emergence in actions against dengue dissemination and implementation of new strategies with greater operational scope, which were intensified by the Plano Nacional de Controle da Dengue, implemented by the Health Ministry. In addition, in recent years it has been discovered that Aedes aegypti is also a vector for chikungunya and Zika, diseases that leave severe sequels in the infected person, with the last one associated to a generation of babies affected by a severe form of microcephaly. Because of the persistence of the problem, some municipalities have adopted innovative biological control strategies. Among them is the release of the genetically modified mosquito (called OX513A), a lineage of male mosquitoes developed by the company Oxitec, which has already been implemented in the municipalities of Jacobina/BA, Juazeiro/BA, Piracicaba/SP and Juiz de Fora/MG. In the present study, we will evaluate the impact of this strategy on the incidence of diseases related to Aedes aegypti, through the synthetic control method, which allows the construction of a counterfactual for the treated municipalities through the optimal weighting of municipalities that did not adopt the strategy.
