“…In Seropédica, urban expansion areas are contiguous with areas of herbaceous vegetation, rural sites and a forest preservation site, the Mario Xavier National Forest (Floresta Nacional Mario Xavier -FLONA). Areas of demographic expansion, where urbanization occurs close to the boundaries of forests and preservation areas are found within the cities, are considered determining factors for ACL risk (GOMES; CAMARGO-NEVES, 1998;NEGRÃO;FERREIRA, 2013), which is supported by the present study. The observed predominance of urban expansion areas in the very favorable category is consistent with previous reports.…”

The goal of the present study was to evaluate the spatial distribution of American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) in Seropédica, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil according to the favorability of occurrence. The Vista-SAGA Geo-environmental Analysis System (Sistema de Análise Geoambiental Vista-SAGA) was used to create a database (theme maps) and perform environmental analyses, signatures and combinations. The degrees of likelihood were obtained by evaluating soil use and plant cover; soil type and geomorphology (geo-environmental factors); and altitude and slope (topographic factors). The factors used in the analyses were selected based on results from the literature and according to the technical feasibility of their inclusion in the databases. Weights and grades were attributed to the factors and their categories, respectively, according to their relevance to the life cycle of parasites from genus Leishmania and parasite vectors. Based on the results of the environmental analyses, areas were classified and grouped to represent the spatial distribution of favorability. Areas were classified as very unfavorable, unfavorable, somewhat favorable, favorable and very favorable for ACL occurrence. The results of the signature analyses showed that the municipality included 6.81% very favorable areas, 65.14% favorable areas, 17.98% somewhat favorable areas, 2.39% unfavorable areas and 0.07% very unfavorable areas for ACL occurrence. The signature analyses of the results and theme maps were able to locate and characterize the ecosystem profiles in terms of risk of ACL occurrence, indicating that rural, peri-urban and urban areas of the municipality of Seropédica may be classified as favorable for the occurrence of this disease. The results of the present study may be used to support management decisions made by authorities responsible for ACL control and prevention in Seropédica. In addition, geoprocessing was found to be a low-cost alternative for data integration in areas where it is difficult to perform surveys. Análise Geoambiental Vista-SAGA foi utilizado na preparação das bases de dados (mapas temáticos), análise ambiental, assinaturas e combinação. Os graus de favorabilidade foram obtidos por avaliações procedidas sobre os fatores uso do solo e cobertura vegetal, tipo de solo e geomorfologia (fatores geoambientais) e altitude e declividade (fatores topográficos). Os fatores utilizados nas análises foram selecionados com base na literatura e na viabilidade técnica para a preparação das bases de dados. Pesos e notas foram atribuídos aos fatores e suas categorias, respectivamente, conforme a relevância para o ciclo de vida de parasitos do gênero Leishmania e de seus vetores. Os resultados das análises ambientais foram categorizados para representarem a distribuição espacial da favorabilidade, classificada como áreas pouquíssimo favorável, pouco favorável, favorável, muito favorável e muitíssimo favorável para ocorrência de LTA. Os resultados das assinaturas evidenciam que o município apresenta 6,81% da área class...

“…Deve-se considerar, também, que o sucesso de uma captura entomológica está associado à agilidade na identificação de focos da doença pelos serviços de vigilância, dos recursos humanos disponíveis, para a realização da captura na época mais propícia. Por outro lado, o atraso na identificação destes focos está associado ao longo período de incubação da doença, ao retardamento do paciente a procura pela assistência médica e o tempo de obtenção do diagnóstico laboratorial, como já apontado anteriormente por Gomes & Camargo-Neves 14 .…”

RESUMO ABSTRACTThis is a retrospective study with ecological features that describes the epidemiological pattern and geographical distribution of American tegumentary leishmaniasis cases in Campinas, São Paulo, between 1992 and 2003. The probable infection locations were georeferenced by means of Global Position System and spatially described using Spring 4.01 Beta software from the Brazilian National Space Research Institute. A kernel estimator was applied to identify areas of case concentration, three epidemic areas with higher case intensity were found in the municipal area in 1993/1995and 2002/2003, closeness of domicile to forest, and clinical form of the disease were studied. Although socio-environment characteristics of the areas were different, epidemics profile were similar. Age, sex and occupational distribution suggest peri-domestic transmission. Proximity to forest has being a risk factor.
