Resumo: Dengue has affected Iquitos since 1990 causing outbreaks of major impact on public health - for this reason great efforts have been made for its temporal control. Currently, with the expansion of the chikungunya virus in the Americas - the threat of the emergence of the virus in Iquitos, we reflect on lessons learned by way of the activities undertaken in the area of vector control; epidemiological surveillance, diagnosis - clinical management during periods of outbreaks of dengue, in a way that will allow us to better face the threat of an outbreak of chikungunya virus in the largest city in the Peruvian Amazon.
