Malária no Brasil: panorama epidemiológico na última década

Abstract: There have been major changes in the epidemiological patterns for malaria in Brazil in the last ten years. One of the most important features is the tendency towards focal distribution in the Amazon region, instead of spreading transmission zones. This new epidemiological situation has led to changes in the control theory based on the occurrence of focal transmission of the infection. The importance of diversified control measures has thus increased, taking into account the characteristics of each transmission… Show more

“…Most cases are imported, and this allowed the observation that in Tocantins malaria behaves differently from other states of the Amazon, where most of cases are autochthonous. BARATA 5 , in his studies, reported that the proportion of malaria cases related to the introduction of imported cases varies directly with the existing surveillance system. Thus, the delay in detection of imported cases may provide outbreaks settings with relatively large proportions for the region.…”

“…Important components of the control effort have been appointed in the past. They were related to better housing, that decrease the man vector contact and increase residual insecticide activity, the determination of the case origins, society engagement and, early diagnosis and treatment of the malaria cases (Botelho et al 1986, Sawyer 1986, Motta 1992, Barata 1995, Marques 1995, Voorham 1997. We suggest that measures that could decrease people flow could play a putative role in malaria control and should be considered in the infrastructure of any government settlement programs.…”

“…Em Manaus, Estado do Amazonas, a incidência da doença é considerada epidêmica devido à presença de um alto número de migrantes que, ao abandonarem suas roças e se deslocarem para a periferia da cidade, favoreceram a multiplicação de criadouros de Tanto áreas periurbanas de Manaus, como de Porto Velho, Estado de Rondônia, são consideradas epidêmicas para a malária em função do constante afluxo de população, que, em busca de melhores oportunidades de emprego, se desloca das áreas de assentamento agrícola para áreas urbanas. Acrescente-se a isto a instalação de 6 favelas, que favorece a multiplicação dos criadouros . O Sivep-Malária é um sistema de informação para notificação dos casos de malária diagnosticados no Brasil, que foi implantado em 2003 e que funciona a partir da inclusão, em um banco de dados, das informações contidas nas fichas de notificação de malária, sendo veiculados por meio da Internet, permitindo acesso direto dos órgãos municipais, estaduais e federais.…”
