Aspectos epidemiológicos da leishmaniose tegumentar em área endêmica do Estado do Paraná, Brasil

Abstract: An epidemiological investigation of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) was performed in 1992 and 1993 in an endemic area of Jussara and Terra Boa counties, in the Northern Paraná State. The study covered 684 individuals from a population of approximately 1,400 from six agricultural areas (Fazenda Palmital, Cerâmica Andirá, Fazenda Jussara, Fazenda Lagoa, Destilaria Melhoramentos, and Fazenda Mururê) in Northern Paraná, Brazil. The mean frequency of CL history was 19.9%. The highest frequency was at Fazenda Jussara (… Show more

“…Since in the north and northwestern regions of Paraná the majority of Leishmania isolates (98.7%) has been identified as L. (V.) braziliensis (Silveira et al 1996(Silveira et al , 1999, it was decided to use the MP1L/MP3H primers described by Lopez et al (1993), that amplify a fragment of 70 base pairs of minicircle region present in the kDNA of members of Leishmania (Viannia) subgenus. However, it is necessary to remember that these primers are specific for Leishmania (Viannia), and this PCR can be negative if the patient was infected by L. (L.) amazonensis.…”

“…Os estudos realizados até o momento no Paraná 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 fazem menções, geralmente discretas, sobre a organização do espaço rural, influenciando na epidemiologia da leishmaniose tegumentar americana no estado, incluindo a transmissão domiciliar e peridomiciliar nas áre-as agrícolas de colonização antiga. A construção de galinheiros, chiqueiros de porcos, estábulos e anexos para a armazenagem das colheitas, sempre muito próximos às residências, cria um ambiente que favorece a circulação de mamíferos silvestres, prováveis reservatórios de Leishmania, uma vez que no peridomicílio há grande disponibilidade de alimentos.…”

Nesse contexto, a leishmaniose tegumentar americana persiste, mesmo com a substituição da vegetação original de florestas pelas culturas de café, soja, milho, algodão e por pastagens 5 , afetando cães 12,13 e humanos de todos os grupos etários e de ambos os sexos 3,4,5 .…”

“…Cutaneous leishmaniasis in Latin America is associated with mucocutaneous leishmaniasis, a chronic destructive condition that is difficult to be treated. ACL is reported in all of Brazil's states and it is an endemic disease mainly in the north and west of Paraná State [3][4][5][6], where the causative agent Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis was isolated from dogs [7], humans [5] and sandflies [8].…”
