OCAMPO, Carolina; DI PASQUO, Federico e CARBAJO, Aníbal. The space in interventions for dengue prevention. Estudios Socioterritoriales [online]. 2020, vol.28, pp.61-61. ISSN 1853-4392. http://dx.doi.org/10.37838/unicen/est.28-061.
In our analysis we focus on the control of Aedes aegypti as a way to prevent dengue. The incidence of this disease is still growing since its reappearance in Argentina in 1998. Therefore, the control seem to be inefficient. In this context is relevant to evaluate the reasons of the failure and if there are epistemological elements contributing to it. Thus, the principal purpose is to inquire how the space is considered in academic publications with interest in chemical interventions of control of Aedes aegypti. For this purpose we make an analytical comparison between the space concept as place and the concept of space formulated by Milton Santos. In this regard, we find that these publications consider the space as place and that this elementist conception implies negative consequences over the territory.
