Abstract: Due to intense ongoing urbanization in the Amazon, the urban pattern of malaria may be changing, both in its spatial distribution and epidemiological profile. The purpose of this paper is to analyze how the process of production of urban space in Porto Velho, the capital of the state of Rondonia, Brazil has contributed to the occurrence and maintenance of urban malaria. Using data collected from the Malaria Epidemiological Surveillance System (SIVEP-Malaria), we calculated malaria indices for the districts of … Show more

“…The unexpected diversity of anopheline mosquitoes in the urban and peri-urban settings may reflect environmental changes due to disorderly urban growth and implementation of hydroelectric power plants near Porto Velho. Its recent urban growth has triggered social and environmental conditions that have enabled the persistence of urban malaria foci in some neighbourhoods of Porto Velho, mainly in peri-urban settings [ 77 ]. On the other hand, a hydroelectric artificial lake can provide larval habitats for these mosquitoes.…”
