Abstract: Despite the success of control programmes, schistosomiasis is still a serious public health problem in the world. More than 70 countries where 200 million individuals are evaluated to be infected of a total 600 million at risk. Though there have been important local success in the control of transmission, globally the infection has increased. Economic constrains in developing countries, environmental changes associated with migration and water resources development have been blocking the progress. The main obj… Show more

“…However, the prevention of reinfection, the infection of others, and the reduction in the incidence of infection require that attention be given to socioeconomic, cognitive, behavioral, and other factors (Kloos 1995, Barbosa 1998, Uchôa et al 2000, Asaolu & Ofoezie 2003. Health education in conjunction with environmental sanitation and safe water supplies has been described as a potentially effective strategy in schistosomiasis control (Barbosa 1995, Coura 1995, Dias et al 1995, Kloos 1995, Schall 1998, 2002, Funasa 2002.…”

Since the institutionalization of health education in the national disease control programs in Brazil in the early 1920s (Levy et al 2003) theoretical and methodological improvements have been made in the development and operationalization of health education programs.…”

“…After the discovery of more efficient and less toxic chemotherapeutics drugs (oxamniquine, praziquantel), the World Health Organization (WHO) started to emphasize morbidity control (WHO 1985, Dias et al 1995, Lardans & Dissous 1998. Despite the fact that the emphasis directed to chemotherapy has reached favorable results, regarding reduction of morbidity, a significative reduction of the transmission was not obtained (Barbosa 1995, Lardans & Dissous 1998.…”

“…As a result of those aspects, the control program proposed in 1993 by the WHO kept the emphasis on morbidity control. However other measures were associated, such as: improvement on sanitary qualities, water supply to population, vector control and sanitary education (WHO 1993, Dias et al 1995.…”
