green areas, it was decided to consider the use of pesticides in the particular case of

mosquito control (principally of the genera

Aedes

and

Culex

considered possible

carriers of diseases such as Dengue fever, West Nile Virus and Chikungunya).

For the elaboration of this indicator the discriminatory factors, related to the use of

eco-compatible practices in the management of insect pest infestations in urban

areas, were analyzed: biological, chemical or integrated control, dissemination

activities at the regional and municipal monitoring, pesticide spread in green areas.
