[Comprehensive surveillance system for dengue prevention].

A comprehensive ecosystem approach-based surveillance system was designed and implemented for dengue prevention in Cotorro municipality at the City of Havana. Cuba, geographically situated near those countries with high dengue incidence, and having a preventive approach as a premise of its public healthcare system, has to adopt measures to prevent new dengue epidemics. The environmental, entomological and clinical/epidemiological elements of the surveillance system were integrated and combined with a social participation strategy.
