Resumo(s)
O programa REVIVE (Rede de Vigilância de Vetores) resulta de colaboração
entre a Direção-Geral da Saúde, as Administrações Regionais de
Saúde do Algarve, Alentejo, Centro, Lisboa e Vale do Tejo e Norte, a Direção
Regional da Saúde da Madeira, a Direção Regional da Saúde dos
Açores e o Instituto Nacional de Saúde Doutor Ricardo Jorge. No âmbito
do REVIVE é realizada a vigilância entomológica de mosquitos (Culicidae),
carraças (Ixodidae) e flebótomos (Psychodidae) a nível nacional. O ano
de 2020 representou o 13.º ano do programa REVIVE (2008-2020). Nesta
publicação apresentam-se, de uma forma resumida, os resultados da
vigilância de mosquitos e carraças realizada em 2020, e no período 2011-
-2019, em todas as regiões do país, dando ênfase aos principais riscos
em saúde pública em Portugal. Relativamente aos mosquitos destaca-se
a presença dos mosquitos exóticos/invasores Aedes aegypti na Madeira
e Aedes albopictus no norte e sul do continente e o risco da ocorrência
de casos autóctones de dengue, Zika e chikungunya transmitidos por
estes vetores. Na vigilância de ixodídeos, salienta-se o risco de casos de
febre escaro-nodular e borreliose de Lyme e, a cada vez mais provável,
ocorrência de casos de febre hemorrágica Crimeia Congo transmitida por
carraças e descrita nos últimos anos em Espanha junto da fronteira com
Portugal.
The REVIVE program (Vector Surveillance Network) results from collaboration between the Directorate-General for Health, the Regional Health Administrations of Algarve, Alentejo, Center, Lisbon and Tagus valley and North, the Regional Directorate of Health of Madeira, Regional Directorate of Health of Azores and the National Health Institute Doutor Ricardo Jorge. Within REVIVE, entomological surveillance at the national level is carried out on mosquitoes (Culicidae), ticks (Ixodidae) and sandflies (Psychodidae). The year 2020 represented the 13th year of existence of the REVIVE program (2008-2020). In this publication, the results of mosquito and tick surveillance carried out in 2020, and in 2011-2019, in all regions of the country are briefly presented, emphasizing the main public health risks in Portugal. Among these, we refer the presence of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in Madeira and Aedes albopictus in the North and South of the continent and the probable occurrence of autochthonous cases of dengue, Zika and chikungunya transmitted by these vectors, represent the main reason of concern. In tick surveillance, the keynote threats relate to the risk of cases of Mediterranean spotted fever and Lyme borreliosis and, the more and more likely occurrence of cases of Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever transmitted by Hyalomma sp. ticks, which has been described in recent years in Spain along the border with Portugal.
