Abstract
Aedes aegypti is responsible for the transmission of several arboviruses such as dengue due to the lack of control that is often linked to the lack of knowledge about the serious ecological problem. This means that much still has to be done in order to ensure effective protection for the population against Aedes aegypti. The ovitrampa is a container of dark color with capacity of 500 ml in this, it adheres itself a rough material that is denominated vane where it allows the fixation of the deposited eggs. The use and monitoring of areas with the help of ovitraps is a method known to some in the area of endemics and the ministry of health. They are useful for ascertaining the presence and distribution of females of the vector, to detect critical points of population concentration and to present an alternative to the monitoring of these vectors that cause dengue, and presents itself in an effective and simple reproduction way. This research aimed to present this sustainable alternative to the monitoring of mosquitoes that cause Dengue in a mini course during the fourth environmental week. Traps were installed and monitored at the UFCA campus in Brejo Santo-CE during the fourth environmental week, which took place from August 20 to 23, 2018. During this period, a mini-course was given by the name "Manufacture and use of Ovitrampas ",
