“…Even though a low susceptibility to S. mansoni has been attributed to B. tenagophila, the characteristics of the foci found in Bananal, of which a low estimated density of the worm population is not the least important, give a clear proof Conceição and Coura (1978), Katz (1980) and Barbosa and Barbosa (1998), who remark that the probability of success in the control of this endemic infection increases when the peculiarities of each epidemiological situation are taken into account.…”

“…Esse autor verificou, em duas áreas endêmicas de Pernambuco (Água Preta e Curcuranas), que a forma hepatoesplênica estava associada a piores condições de habitação (casas de taipa), mas não à ausência de fossa no domicílio ou ao setor de ocupação do paciente. Conceição (1976) observou, em Capitão Andrade (Minas Gerais), que 98% dos pacientes hepatoesplênicos relatavam ter contatos muito freqüentes com águas naturais; nessa área, contatos muito freqüentes foram relatados por 90% dos pacientes com forma hepatointestinal e por 50% daqueles com forma intestinal. Lima e Costa et al (1987) observaram, em uma zona endêmica em Minas Gerais (Comercinho), que a forma hepatoesplê-nica em crianças estava fortemente associada à ausência de água encanada no domicílio, aos contatos intensos com águas naturais, à ocupação do chefe de família e à qualidade da habitação.…”

“…A survey on the natural history of infection with S. mansoni in Capitão Andrade, MG, conducted in 1973(Conceição 1976 identified high prevalence and morbidity in the autochthonous population, especially when compared to populations from other endemic areas in Brazil evaluated by the same group of researchers (Coura et al 1992). The results obtained during this phase showed a prevalence of infection of 60.8% in Capitão Andrade, with 5.6% of hepatosplenic forms, and 0.6% of infantilism.…”

“…For clinical examination, priority was given to the same autochthonous individuals that had been examined in 1973 by the same authors (Conceição 1976), and that remained in the area until 2003. Infection prevalence was determined by three parasitological examinations by the Kato method modified by Katz et al (1972), and infection burden was based on the number of S. mansoni eggs per gram of feces.…”
