Condições de saneamento básico em Iporanga, Estado de São Paulo

“…Such infections may also occur in the domestic environment, where sanitary education, notions of hygiene, and cultural aspects are relevant to the elimination of these diseases. 14 A study investigating the prevalence of intestinal parasitoses among the population of São José da Bela Vista, state of São Paulo, showed that, of 1,032 stool tests, 44.4% had positive outcomes, and that these were associated with low family income and large family size, precarious personal and household hygiene conditions, and poor knowledge concerning the prevention protozoan and helminthic diseases. 16 Hence, population knowledge is one of the factors which may lead to a reduction of the prevalence of intestinal parasitic diseases.…”

“…Thus, in keeping with the model proposed by Soares et al 29 , it is necessary to probe into Rio de Janeiro's urban planning for a medium and long- term analysis of the impacts of urban interventions on health and include the entire population in this process (which thus far has been segregating and exclusionary.…”

Risco de adoecimento por exposição às águas do Rio Doce: um estudo sobre a percepção da população de Tumiritinga, Minas Gerais, Brasil
