El uso de insecticidas contra sus vectores, ha conseguido bajar notablemente su prevalencia en nuestro país, luego de varias décadas de esfuerzo. Ahora ha llegado el momento de mejorar hicriemente la vigilancia epidemiológica para que la transmisión cese o al menos se mantenga en niveles muy bajos. Este trabajo presenta unana propuesta educativa para que los niños de los niveles supeiores del EGB, actúen como elementos clave en la vigilancia, detectando focos de los insectos vectores: las vinchucas. Se exponen los resultados de una primera puesta en marcha del proyecto en la Escuela N° 270 de Anjullón, Pcia de La Rioja.
