“…The highest prevalence rate (47.7%) of VL infection in children ≤ 5 years old was reported in other region of Brazil 16,17 , with similarly high prevalence rates reported in other countries [18][19][20] , and it could refl ect increased exposure to sandfl ies 20 . In our study, there were two cases of VL in pregnant patients who transmitted the disease congenitally to their infants 21 .…”

“…In studies conducted by Mestre and Fontes and Botelho and Natal, the age group that was most affected by VL was also children under 10 years of age, and a predominance of males with VL was also observed (11) (12) . According to Borges, the risk of VL is 109.77-fold higher in children under 10 years of age compared to other age groups, and the risk is 2.57-fold higher in males than in females (13) .…”

Introduction: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a zoonosis of great importance to public health and is considered a neglected disease by the World Health Organization. The disease has expanded and become more prevalent in urban areas in Brazil. Methods: Geospatial analyses were performed and thematic maps of the triad of the disease were produced for the study period (2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012) in the urban area of the municipality of Rondonópolis in the midwestern State of Mato Grosso (MT), Brazil, TerraView 4.2.2 software was used for the analyses. Results: A total of 87.9% of the 186 confi rmed human cases of VL were cured. Children between the ages of 1 and 4 were the most affected. Registered deaths were predominant among adults aged 60 years or older. The urban area of the municipality consists of eight strata and 12 census districts include 237 neighborhoods. All sectors had confi rmed cases of VL. During the study period, human cases of the disease were recorded in 90 neighborhoods. The 23 deaths from the disease were distributed in 21 neighborhoods. Sandfl ies carrying the parasite were captured in 192 out of 200 neighborhoods evaluated for the presence of the VL vector. The presence of dogs carrying the parasite was confi rmed in, 140 out of 154 surveyed neighborhoods. Conclusions: The data demonstrated the endemic nature of VL, with a high percentage of infected children, a high distribution of canine infection, and a wide adaptation and dispersal of the vectors in the urban environment. These results, illustrate the process of urbanization of VL in the municipality of Rondonópolis, MT, Brazil.

“…Prior studies have presented data regarding the epidemiology of VL, however the analyses were performed based on municipality 9,10 or state 11,12 and based on hospital data 13,14 . One study examined the mortality of VL in Brazil 3 with another focused on the prediction of VL in Brazil 15 .…”

Introduction: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a neglected disease, with territorial expansion and regional differences in Brazil that require explanation. This study aimed to describe changes in the epidemiology of VL in Brazil from 2001 to 2014. Methods: The incidence rates, sociodemographic and clinical data, and case evolution were subgrouped from 2001 to 2006 and from 2007 to 2014 and presented descriptively. Spatial distribution of disease incidence rates and changes in the spatial and temporal pattern were examined. Results: In total, 47,859 VL cases were reported in Brazil between 2001 and 2014, with predominance in the Northeast macroregion (55%), though the incidence rate in this region declined between the two study periods. The State of Tocantins had the highest crude rate (26.2/100,000 inhabitants), which was responsible for VL increasing in the North macroregion. VL predominated in the urban zone (70%), in children under 4 years (34%); however, an increase in the incidence of VL in adults older than 40 years was identified, with 12.3% and 31% in the first and second period, respectively. The mapping of crude rates and autochthonous canine cases showed territorial expansion. The temporal distribution of VL was consistent in Brazil in general, with no pattern observed, but regional differences were found. Conclusions: The incidence of VL is increasing in Brazil. In addition to the State of Tocantins, which had the highest rate, new outbreaks of VL have occurred in the South macroregion of Brazil with small decreases identified in the incidence rate in the Northeast.
