“…Chronic forms of the disease are however considered to be relatively rare in the region. The first acute cases were re- ported by Floch and Tasqué (1941) and Floch and Camain (1948) Valente & Valente 1993, Valente et al 1999, Pinto et al 2004, Perez-Gutierrez et al 2006, PAHO 2006a. Overall prevalence of infection is relatively low (1-3%), but seems to be substantially higher in some subregions (Camargo et al 1984, Dias & Coura 1997 (Camargo et al 1984, Coura et al 1999, 2002.…”

“…suggests oral T. cruzi transmission in many of the outbreaks of acute cases recorded in Brazil (Valente & Valente 1993, Valente et al 1999, Pinto et al 2004, Coura 2006, Perez-Gutierrez et al 2006, PAHO 2006a. This epidemiological picture (relatively low prevalence, incidence, morbidity, and mortality rates -but by no means absence of the disease) is also supported by data on prevalence of T. cruzi infection among blood donors and by the rarity of hospital admissions and death due to Chagas disease in the Brazilian Amazon (Dias et al 2002).…”

RESUMOO afeto pode influenciar as percepções de riscos e benefícios à saúde e o comportamento de consumidores. O açaí é amplamente consumido na região Amazônica. Surtos da doença de Chagas aguda supostamente relacionados ao açaí têm ocorrido. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar o afeto de consumidores referente ao açaí. As relações do afeto com percepções dos riscos e benefícios à saúde e características socioeconômicas também foram estudadas. Realizou-se a coleta dos dados na cidade de Coari, entrevistando 250 indivíduos. Os escores de afeto e percepções foram medidos com escalas de resposta de 5 pontos. Foram realizadas análises descritivas com o software XLSTAT 2011. O afeto identificado entre os consumidores foi positivo. Observou-se correlação significativa e positiva entre os escores de afeto e de percepção do benefício (coeficiente Spearman= 0,207, p=0,001). Não verificou-se diferenças entre o afeto e características socioeconômicas. Programas educativos relativos ao açaí para a polução estudada devem ser desenhados levando em conta a provável influência do afeto na percepção do benefício. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: comportamento, atitude, educação, fatores socioeconômicos, doença de Chagas. AFFECT and risk and benefit perception of individuals related to açaí, Coari County, State of Amazonas ABSTRACTThe affect can influence health risk and benefit perceptions and consumer behavior. Açaí is widely consumed in the Amazon region. Acute Chagas disease outbreaks involving açaí have been reported. The objective of this study was to identify affect related to açaí. The relationship between affect and consumer perception of risks and benefits and socioeconomic characteristics were also studied. Data collection was performed in the city of Coari, Amazonas State, through interviews with 250 subjects. The scores of affect and perception were analyzed by the means of a 5-point response scale. Descriptive data analysis was performed with the help of XLSTAT 2011 software. The affect identified among consumers was positive. A significant positive correlation between the affect and the perceived benefit (Spearman correlation coefficient 0.207, p=0.001) was observed. No significant differences were identified between the affect and socioeconomic variables. The conception of education programs regarding açaí for the studied population should take into consideration the probable influence of the affect on benefit perception.

“…Several recommendations and incentives on research methodologies for the detection of T. cruzi in food exist (2) (10) ; however, fully developed methods aimed at the detection of parasites in food are still lacking not only for furnishing a response to epidemiological investigations in cases of outbreaks, but also for controlling the quality of commercialized products.…”
