Dengue, chikungunya and zika are among the major problems to public health problem in the world. In the absence of vaccine, the only known alternative to prevention is to control the mosquito. Among the methods of control, using biological strains of Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) has stood out for its efficiency and security in the application. This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of Bti to control the population of the Aedes aegypti mosquito in junkyards and recycling centers of Chapecó, Santa Catarina. Seven applications of Bti were conducted once every 21 days, three junkyards and three recycling centers, from August to December 2014. Was used wettable powder, soluble in water and applied at a concentration of 800 grams per hectare according to the manufacturer's technical specifications. The monthly number of larvae and of eggs and larvae of A. aegypti were recorded and compared with the results obtained in junkyards and recycling control. It was observed a reduction of 89.6% in the number of eggs and mosquito larvae in establishments that received treatment with Bti, compared to the establishments control. The infestation occurred two months earlier in establishments that did not receive treatment. The Bti was efficient in the mosquito A. aegypti population control in junkyards and recycling centers in tested conditions. It is presented as an alternative for the prevention of dengue, chikungunya and zika virus.

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication
The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
