“…The lethality rate was 71% (30/42), evidence of a poor surveillance of yellow fever in the state and/or a strong virulence and lack of immunity in affected patients. Of the 30 fatal cases of yellow fever, 10% (3/30) were foreigners (13) . The abundance of Aedes aegypti and of Aedes albopictus in rural areas and in Manaus suggests that the high dispersion of these vectors increases the risk of yellow fever outbreaks, and this reinforces the need to ensure high coverage of vaccination and to maintain a continuous and improved epidemiological and entomological surveillance.…”

“…The accumulated vaccine coverage against yellow fever grew gradually in the State of Amazonas, from 58.9% in 1996 to 87% in 2009 (13) . This latest vaccine coverage is still below the acceptable value, i.e., vaccine coverage above 90% in all municipalities.…”

“…A Febre Amarela trata-se de uma doença viral infecciosa, tendo como agente etiológico um arbovírus da família Flaviviridae e do gênero Flavivirus (SARAIVA et al, 2013). É uma doença endêmica que acomete principalmente regiões com temperaturas tropicais, entre elas a África e América do Sul.…”

A Febre Amarela é uma doença infecciosa não contagiosa, transmitida ao homem pela picada de mosquitos hematófagos da família Culicidae. Contabiliza-se no mundo cerca de 200 mil casos por ano, e causando a morte de 30 mil pessoas principalmente em áreas de clima tropical. Sendo assim, este trabalho buscou compreender o nível de conhecimento dos alunos da 2ª série do Ensino Médio de uma Escola Federal de Floriano, Piauí, sobre a Febre Amarela, visando orientá-los sobre a temática, por meio de uma intervenção educativa com a utilização de uma revista informativa como material didático alternativo. Adotou-se uma pesquisa com abordagem quali-quantitativa. Aplicou-se um questionário pré-teste com perguntas fechadas antes da intervenção, e um pós-teste depois da aula. Verificou-se que os alunos não possuíam um conhecimento satisfatório sobre a doença, principalmente sobre o agente etiológico, vetor e espécies responsáveis pela transmissão da Febre Amarela no ciclo urbano e silvestre. A doença não é frequentemente abordada em sala de aula. Portanto, após a intervenção educativa com auxílio da revista foi possível verificar a construção de uma aprendizagem siginificativa sobre os pontos-chave da doença e sua profilaxia. Assim, essas metodologias alternativas no âmbito escolar podem promover a construção do conhecimento e consequentemente a promoção da saúde.

“…This finding, in addition to the fact that yellow fever, similarly to MAYV, is associated with Haemagogus spp. mosquitoes 57 and Alouatta spp. monkeys, 57 supports the assumption that these diseases have similar transmission cycles in the rainforest.…”

Abstract:Mayaro fever is an emerging acute viral disease endemic in Central and South America. Mayaro virus (MAYV) is classified in the Semliki Forest virus antigenic complex and shares similarities with the alphavirus Chikungunya virus and the flavivirus Dengue virus. MAYV is an arbovirus transmitted by Haemagogus janthinomys, with competence also demonstrated in Aedes aegypti, Aedes scapularis, and Anopheles quadrimaculatus. Outbreaks and small epidemics of Mayaro fever have occurred in several countries in northern South America and the Caribbean. In addition, travel-associated cases have been reported in European nationals returning from endemic areas. Clinical features of Mayaro fever include fever, chills, persistent arthralgia, retro-orbital pain, maculopapular rash, itching, dizziness, and, rarely, lymphadenopathy. Methods of control for MAYV are similar to those used for other sylvatic arboviruses. Although MAYV was discovered as long ago as the 1950s and continues to be prevalent in the tropical areas of the Americas, it remains neglected and under-studied. This paper provides a thorough and current review of the published MAYV literature ranging from its original description to modern outbreaks, and from the basic virus characteristics to the clinical and epidemiological aspects of this disease.
