“…Na classificação da forma clínica da endemia foi adotada a sugerida por Pessoa & Barros (1953), modificada por Barbosa (1966): Tipo I: fígado e baço não palpáveis (forma intestinal); Tipo II: fígado palpável com a consistência aumentada e baço não palpável (forma hepatointestinal); Tipo III: baço palpável com a consistência normal ou aumentada (forma hepatoesplênica).…”

This study identified the role of biological and social determinants in the transmission of schistosomiasis mansoni in Ravena, Minas Gerais, Brazil, in 1980. This data was used to characterize the clinical and epidemiological profiles of the endemic desease in the population, allowing for the determination of the efficacy of the potable water supply and the specific treatment of those infected with S. mansoni. The district contains three locations, Ravenopolis, Ravena and Lavapes, where the prevalence of the endemic disease was, 20.1%, 42.6% and 63.9%, respectively. The prevalence in the district was statistically higher in men. The age brackets that displayed differences by gender were 10-14 and 15-19 years. Severity of infection was statistically different among individuals within the 10-14 year bracket in ali three locations, and in the 15-19 year bracket among individuals from Ravenopolis and Ravena. The hepatointestinal form was associated with age, and individuals under 15 years of age presented risk of infection 8.85 times higher than adults. Multivariable analysis of the factors involved in transmission of the disease showed that Lavapes was independently associated with infection. In that area, poor sanitary conditions and the proximity of houses to streams infested with S. marsoni cercariae facilitated infection of neighborhood women while performing domestic activities, as well as men digging sand from the streams for construction. These results show the focal nature of transmission of the endemic requiring specific intervention for effective control of disease.

“…Fieldwork on the epidemiology of schistosomiasis and its prophylaxis in northeastern Brazil began with Pessoa and Barros (1953) , Pessoa et al (1955) , Pessoa and Amorim (1957) , including research in PB. These studies were continued by Barbosa ( 1966 , 1968 ) in PE and consolidated in BA by Prata and Schroeder (1967) , Prata and Bina (1968) and Bina and Prata ( 1983 , 2003 ), using treatment as a form of controlling schistosomiasis in rural areas. Kloetzel ( 1962 , 1963 , 1964 ) made an important contribution to studies on morbidity due to schistosomiasis and its relationship with the intensity of infection.…”

A cross-sectional study on the prevalence and morbidity of schistosomiasis was conducted in the main settlement of the municipality of Alhandra, in the southern coastal region of the state of Paraíba, in 2010. The results of this study were compared with the results of a previous study conducted in the same area in 1979. The systematic sampling per family conglomerate included approximately 10% of the resident population in the urban area of Alhandra. Faecal examinations were performed using the Kato-Katz method. The clinical forms of the disease were classified in accordance with FS Barbosa as Type I - intestinal form, Type II - hepatointestinal form and Type III - hepatosplenic form. The prevalence of the infection in 2010 was 10.05%, whereas in 1979 it was 46.6% among untreated patients. The percentages of the three clinical forms in 2010 were as follows: 95.3% Type I, 4.6% Type II and 0% Type III; in 1979, the percentages were 94.4%, 3% and 2.6% for Types I, II and III, respectively. In 1979, 6.07% of the Biomphalaria glabrata specimens (the intermediate host in this area) excreted cercariae, where in 2010 only 1.27% of the specimens caught excreted the parasite.
