“…Os 196 (1,6%) casos registrados como local de residência a zona sul, não coincide com o histórico de endemicidade dessa área reconhecida como baixo risco 17 . Dessa forma, é importante destacar que, o relato de local provável de infecção na zona sul, dos 446 (3,4%) casos, sugere que esses indivíduos possam ter se infectado em zonas de maior endemicidade -alto risco -uma vez que a zona sul é considerada área sem transmissão 17 .…”

“…Dessa forma, é importante destacar que, o relato de local provável de infecção na zona sul, dos 446 (3,4%) casos, sugere que esses indivíduos possam ter se infectado em zonas de maior endemicidade -alto risco -uma vez que a zona sul é considerada área sem transmissão 17 . Pode-se especular que a ferramenta de coleta do dado local provável de infecção presente na ficha de notificação compulsória do SIVEP-Malária está sujeita a falhas de preenchimento que, por sua vez, podem induzir à incorreta interpretação da informação obtida.…”

“…Além disso, fica a questão se o observado para o período entre 2003-2006 é representativo da situação atual da malária no município de Manaus. Apesar disso, os resultados aqui apresentados reforçam a noção de que a malária é um grave problema de saúde pública em Manaus, com destaque para a subpopulação de gestantes, sujeita a esquemas de tratamento limitados e potenciais complicações para gestante e concepto, que necessita de monitoramento constante em todas as zonas da cidade, inclusive, a zona sul, tradicionalmente, considerada de baixo risco 17 . É fundamental manter alerta os gestores municipais para a necessidade de priorizar políticas que envolvam ações preventivas, como saneamento, assistência básica de saúde e trabalho de ação social.…”

RESUMO. Results: Over this period, 13,308 malaria cases were notified, of which 815 (6.1%) were among pregnant women. There was a gradual decrease in the absolute numbers of cases among pregnant and non-pregnant women. Regarding species, 14.3% of the notified cases were caused by Plasmodium falciparum; 85% by Plasmodium vivax and 0.6 % by both of them. The frequency of Plasmodium falciparum infection was greater among pregnant women than among non-pregnant women (p > 0.05). Although most of the cases lived in the eastern zone of the city, the western zone appeared to be the likely location of infection in 39% of the cases. Endemic peaks of malaria in July and August were observed among the non-pregnant women in all four years analyzed. Conclusions: The data showed that SIVEP-Malaria was an important tool for determining the distribution of malaria cases and that it should be used for controlling the endemic disease. However, the data from its first four years of operation showed that the quality was compromised by data entry failures, using the field of notification of pregnancy as an example.

“…Saraiva et al 14 examined the relationship between urban expansion and malaria in Manaus, state of Amazonas. The study found that after 13 years without autochthony record, areas that suffered human activities such as deforestation and urban expansion, contributed to epidemic profile of malaria, mainly because the population of rural area was attracted to urban areas in jobs search, abandoning their land and creating the so called slums.…”

Deforestation and malaria incidence in the legal Amazon Region between 1996 and 2012

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Malaria is a major public health problem, and Brazil is the largest contributor in America to the number of cases. In the country, the Amazon concentrates around 99.5% of the cases. This article aims to compare trends in deforestation rate and the parasite index of malaria in the Amazon region between 1996 and 2012. The annual crude rate of deforestation and the Annual Parasite Index (API) of malaria between 1996 and 2012 were estimated. The rate of deforestation has great variability among the states every year, and a similar situation is observed for malaria API over the studied period. There are important variations across the states within this period. The historical series of crude deforestation rate and malaria API have markedly similar trends; with a 1-2 years lag between them, suggesting that the occurrence of fluctuations in deforestation numbers impacts malaria numbers in a period immediately following. The mapping of deforested areas and the analysis of temporal series are therefore useful in the analysis of malaria.

“…The study was carried out in the urban area of the municipality of Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil (03º08'S 60º01'W), covering an area of 11,458.5 km 2 (Saraiva et al 2009). The city is located in central Amazonia, on the left bank of the River Negro and near the confluence of the River Negro with the River Solimões.…”

Composition and structure of the fig wasp community in Amazonia

et al. 2015

An understanding of the complex ecological interaction between fig wasps and their host plants in Amazonia requires previous knowledge of their distribution and diversity. The objective of this study was to describe the composition and structure of the wasp community associated with four species of Ficus in the municipal area of Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. A total of 600 syconia from four species were collected. The study species were: Ficus obtusifolia Kunth; Ficus citrifolia Mill; F. americana subspecies guianensis Desv. form mathewsii; and F. americana subspecies guianensis Desv. form parkeriana. Statistical analyses were used to examine the relationship between fig wasp diversity and syconium diameter, and the effect of non-pollinating wasps on numbers of pollinators and seeds. Forty three species of fig wasp were identified, distributed across seven genera (Pegoscapus, Idarnes, Aepocerus, Physothorax, Anidarnes, Heterandrium , Eurytoma). Idarnes (carme group) was the wasps genus non-pollinator with greatest number of individuals with the greatest number of infested syconia (7409 wasps in 376 syconia). Analysing non-pollinating wasp diversity in relation to fig diameter, a significant difference was observed between the four fig species. Ficus citrifolia and F. americana subspecies guianensis form mathewsii had the smallest diameter but the greatest diversity of fig wasp. Ficus obtusifolia was the only species in which the non-pollinating wasps had a significant negative effect on the number of Pegoscapus sp. and on seed production.
