“…Studies made by several authors, such as Pessoa (1978), Barreto (1982), Silva (1986Silva ( , 1988Silva ( , 1997, and Barata (2000) suggest that the occurrence, distribution, and maintenance of certain illnesses are associated with the modifications made by man on the natural ecosystems by altering them from their natural to a historical condition and consequently transforming them, according to Coura-Filho (1997), into artificial ecosystems, that is, altered or constructed by human manipulation. This modification/organization results in a complex network of causation/consequence.…”

Using media discourse analysis for material published by the press on schistomisasis in the city of Jaboticatubas, the possible determining factors of narrative and discursive constructions in the diffusion of information are discussed. It was observed that media discourse treats schistosomiasis in 1962 as something from the natural order. By 1997 and 1998, the media discourse strategies reveal ideological treatment in favor of certain social segments. Situations are identified in which social agents in specific contexts construct the meanings of this endemic disease. It was concluded that the economic organization of space was a determining factor in the production and circulation of the media discourses.

“…Geographic, biotic, and abiotic factors from the environment in which prehistoric populations lived (biocenosis) and their cultural characteristics can trace models for the predictability and transmission of the parasite fauna in these groups, as done by MARTINSON et al 75 and REINHARD 104 , and are based on models grounded in the theory of natural foci 94,96,121 . These studies are especially applicable to zoonoses, since biocenosis in natural ecosystems is well defined 121 , but they can also be applied to human-specific parasites.…”

SuMMaRYThe authors present a review of records of intestinal parasitic helminths from animals in human archaeological remains, reported since the emergence of paleopathological studies. The objective was to relate paleoparasitological findings to geographic, biotic, and abiotic factors from the environment in which the prehistoric populations lived, and understand some aspects related to the process of human dispersion and biological and cultural evolution. Modification of eating habits and the incorporation of new cultural practices are analyzed from the perspective of zoonoses from prehistory to the present day, especially in Brazilian indigenous populations. Three tables identifying the helminths, their natural hosts, dates, and sites of archaeological findings complete this review. In conclusion, various zoonoses known today have occurred since antiquity, and these data, combined with studies on the emergence and reemergence of diseases, could make possible to compose scenarios for the future.

“…Samuel Pessoa, que formou no Brasil uma escola de estudos no contexto da chamada medicina tropical, inspirouse nesses autores, afirmando a necessidade de resgatar a velha tradição hipocrática. Estudos posteriores realizados no Brasil e na América Latina (Silva, 1997;Sabroza et al, 1992;Barreto, 1982;Breilh, 1983;Barata, 1988) também valorizaram a mesma herança, utilizando porém novos desenvolvimentos teóricos. Os conceitos geográficos propostos por Milton Santos, por exemplo, constituíram importante referência para compreender a complexidade das relações entre espaço e produção de doenças (Czeresnia et al, 2000).…”

Constituição epidêmica: velho e novo nas teorias e práticas da epidemiologia

O artigo analisa a importância da idéia de constituição epidêmica, identificada pela presença recorrente do pensamento hipocrático na história da epidemiologia. Em termos gerais, constituição relaciona epidemias a circunstâncias geográfico-atmosféricas. O que se destaca é a concepção do fenômeno epidêmico como desequilíbrio da harmonia da natureza, como totalidade e ultrapassando a dimensão geográfica. Permanência de um pensamento hipocrático não significa a existência de uma continuidade. A idéia de constituição foi marcada por descontinuidades e definida por conceitos distintos no decorrer da história. A força desse pensamento deve ser compreendida a partir da base filosófica que a origina: a physis. O interesse pelo pensamento pré-socrático ganha significado especial na crise da modernidade, trazendo novos elementos, também, para a interpretação da idéia de constituição em epidemiologia.
