Inquérito entomológico e infectividade durante epidemia de malária no município de Anajás, Estado do Pará

Abstract: An entomological survey was conducted in the urban area of Anajás municipality, Para State, in order to verify the risk of malaria transmission. Although the density of Anopheles species was low, the anopheline infectivity rate of 6% demonstrated there is a high risk of infection by the malaria parasites.

“…darlingi captured in various endemic areas of Brazilian Amazon, including sites close to those of the present study. Santos et al (2005) also found high infection indexes (6% by ELISA and 2.7% by microscopy) in an epidemic malaria outbreak in the city of Anajás (state of Pará, East Brazilian Amazon).…”

“…The high infection indexes found by Tadei and Dutary-Thatcher (2000) and Santos et al (2005) is probably a result of the use of ELISA methods to identify infected mosquitoes (Zavala et al 1982), known to be much more sensitive than microscopy. In addition, the studies by Tadei and DutaryThatcher (2000) were performed in "highways and towns where rapid and uncontrolled (malaria) growth had occurred" and Santos et al (2005) describe an urban epidemic outbreak. In contrast, the present and previous studies by our group were developed in areas of low density populations and stable residual malaria.…”

“…A espécie é tida como antropofílica e com elevada endofi lia, embora, atualmente, seja encontrada em maior quantidade em coletas no peridomicilio (Gil et al 2007). Possui dois padrões de horários de maior atividade hematofágica, um com picos ao anoitecer e ao amanhecer e outro onde a atividade crepuscular não é observada (Lourenço de Oliveira et al 1989, Charlwood 1996, Santos et al 2005. Contudo, em coletas de 12h (das 18:00h às 06:00h) é encontrado picando em todos os horários (Tadei et al 1983), sendo que diferentes horários preferenciais de atividade já foram registrados (Roberts et al 1987, Voorham 2002.…”

“…Provavelmente, tal característica tem sido responsável pela manutenção dos elevados valores de IPA nos Municípios situados nas mesorregiões paraenses Marajó (Afuá, Anajás, Bagre, Chaves, Curralinho, Portel, São Sebastião da Boa Vista) e Nordeste (Augusto Corrêa, Aurora do Pará, Ipixuna do Pará, Nova Esperança do Piriá, Santarém Novo, Tailândia, Tracuateua, Viseu, Cachoeira do Piriá). O Município de Anajás representa essa situação malarígena no Pará pela associação de três fatores: a atividade econômica extrativista (palmito de açaí); presença de anofelinos em área urbana e rural com elevada taxa de infectividade, 25 deficiente serviço de saúde local e dificuldades de acesso a outros serviços e bens necessários à saúde.…”
