This study evaluated the impact of Aedes aegypti vector control in the city of Nauta, Loreto, in 2024. A quantitative, descriptive approach was applied. Data collection was carried out in six sectors of the city of Nauta, before and after the implementation of vector control actions (focal treatment and home visits). The three main entomological indices were used as indicators: aedes index (AI), Breteau index (BI), and positive container index (PI). Samples were collected through aedes surveys, according to the Ministry of Health Surveillance protocol. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and significance tests such as Shapiro-Wilk and Student's t-tests to compare the values obtained in both stages. The results showed a reduction in the values of the three entomological indices evaluated after vector control: the aedico index decreased from 17.8 to 13.6, the Breteau index from 27.9 to 20.9, and the container index from 3.2 to 2.1. Vector control intervention coverage reached 88.90%, a value considered adequate by PAHO, although slightly lower than the minimum established by the Technical Health Standard. Although the observed differences were not statistically significant, a favorable trend toward reducing vector density was evident, suggesting a positive impact with the potential for strengthening through sustained and complementary strategies.
