Implementación de un Web Map Service (WMS) para la gestión de la información proveniente del Grupo de Entomología del Instituto Nacional de Salud

Abstract

Entomology is the science that studies insects and other arthropods that intervene in the transmission cycle of diseases that affect man and domestic and wild animals, based on this definition in this work a web map service was developed in order to to contribute to the study and control of important insects in public health in the country, in order to have in real time updated information on distribution maps for insects responsible for transmitting diseases such as Malaria with mosquitoes of the genus Anopheles, Yellow fever with HaemagogusSabethes and Arbovirosis with Aedes mosquitoes such as Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. To create the distribution maps, the Entomosoftware software database of the Entomology Group of the National Institute of Health was used, which contains capture records from 2007 to 2019 that have been collected by the Public Health Laboratories of all the country, with these data layers were created in the QGIS software that were then exported to a spatial database in POSTGRESQL with its POSTGIS extension which was connected to the GeoServer map server to publish these data. Finally everything was coupled to a geo viewer using the Leaflet libraries which were integrated into a html web page.
