“…This reduction of the disease in the state is evident when comparing the results of this study with others conducted in Sergipe (29) and is similar to results in other states (25) (30) (31) . The northeast is an important ecological reserve of the intermediate hosts of S. mansoni and the State of Sergipe is historically endemic (29) . The disease positive analysis in Brazil, held by the Ministry of Health on the historical series from 1990 to 2010, showed the reduction scenario, with average positivity of 8% and a decrease trend of 0.25% per annum (27) .…”

“…A esquistossomose é considerada endêmica em 69% dos 102 municípios de Alagoas, com estimativas de que aproximadamente 2,5 milhões de pessoas vivam sob o risco da doença nestas áreas endêmicas 9 , uma situação próxima da realidade do Estado de Sergipe, conforme mostrado em uma publicação baseada nos dados do PCE de 2005 a 2008 identificando taxas de prevalência de 13,6%, 11,2%, 11,8% e 10,6%, respectivamente 11 .…”

“…Para A. lumbricoides, somando-se os casos confirmados em todos os anos comparativos, constatou-se valor maior na zona urbana (24,8%) que na rural (22,7%) (1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013). As prevalências da esquistossomose e das geo-helmintoses estão intrinsecamente ligadas a indicadores socioeconômicos, os quais podem influenciar a transmissão e/ou a forma como a população local se posiciona em relação ao controle e ao combate às parasitoses 17 . Tais melhorias podem ser observadas nos resultados das análises, que mostraram uma diminuição das prevalências de todas as parasitoses estudadas.…”
