Abstract: A construção de represas geralmente causa modificações na composição da fauna em sua área de influência 1 24 . Estas modificações têm direcionado pesquisas para os vetores de doenças endêmicas, visto que podem favorecer a transmissão em áreas de baixa endemicidade ou propiciar a instalação de novos focos de doenças 4 6 24 .Dentre ABSTRACTThe construction of dams usually changes the composition of the fauna within their areas of influence. In the area where the Rosal hydroelectric power station has been instal… Show more

“…Schistosomiasis is an important endemic disease associated with environmental changes caused by major economic development projects, such as the construction of hydroelectric power facilities (dams and lakes created by dams) [1][2][3][4] . The difficulty in predicting emerging outbreaks of schistosomiasis associated with these types of projects, and the existence of conditions unique to particular projects, require studies in each particular locality to implement appropriate preventive measures.…”

“…In Brazil, currently, the evaluation of the impact of water projects in relation to schistosomiasis has been limited to studies on the introduction of intermediate hosts 8,24,26 . Studies that demonstrate the presence of S. mansoni infections in resident and floating populations are scarce, especially in the construction phase of these projects.…”

“…In addition to these, modifications such as the construction of dams and power plants are introduced by humans in ecosystems and biomes, to contribute to economic needs, such as increase in energy demand, water supply, and food production. These water projects can create environments that are ecologically favorable to the introduction and dispersion of S. mansoni by establishing new breeding sites for snails, which are the intermediate hosts of this parasite, either naturally inhabiting the region or introduced from other endemic regions 8,9 . The São Francisco River Integration Project [Projeto de Integração do Rio São Francisco (PISF)], is aimed at integrating the river with the Northeastern Hydrographic Basins, with the main objective of increasing water availability, and consequently, contributing to the socioeconomic development of the region.…”

“…These modifi cations may alter communities composition and population dynamics of several organisms, including Diptera related to transmission of human diseases, like Culicidae (PAULA & GOMES, 2007), Psychodidae (Phlebotominae) (REZENDE et al, 2009) and Simuliidae (ROSENBERG et al, 1997). In the last decade, many dams were erased along the Uruguai river, however very few data about the Diptera fauna with medical importance as vectorborne disease in this region are available.…”
