“…Furthermore, the concentration of cases observed during the first period suggests that the social and administrative spatial reorganization of those territories, historically impacted by deforestation, natural resource extraction, and disordered urban expansion in remaining areas of forest, may have enabled contact between the population and phlebotomid species through invasion of their habitat [ 11 , 12 , 36 , 37 , 38 ]. Thus, the presence and circulation of vectors, reservoirs, and hosts in these areas may have favored the interaction between wild and domestic cycles of the disease and facilitated its establishment in semi-urban and urban areas [ 36 , 37 , 38 ].…”

Human visceral leishmaniasis is a major public health problem in the Amazon. Thus, we analyzed the spatial distribution of this disease and its relationship with epidemiological, socioeconomic, and environmental variables in the Carajás Integration Region, Pará state, from 2011 to 2020. Epidemiological data for this ecological study were obtained from the State Public Health Secretariat, environmental data were obtained from the National Space Research Institute, and socioeconomic data were obtained from the Brazilian Geography and Statistics Institute. ArcGIS 10.5.1 software was used for classifying land use and cover and for the Kernel and Moran spatial analyses. It was observed in 685 confirmed cases that the epidemiological profile followed the national pattern of the disease occurrence, with a high prevalence in children who were not school-aged. The disease had a non-homogeneous distribution with clusters related to different human activities, such as urbanization, ranching, and mining. A spatial dependence between the disease prevalence and socioeconomic indicators was observed. The municipalities presented gradients of case densities associated with a direct relationship between areas with cases and deforestation. The disease is developing due to risk factors such as establishment and maintenance related to the non-sustainable development model implemented in the region, pointing to the need for its revision.

“…This association occurs because the Leishmania parasite, its vectors and reservoirs are present in areas of forests that are not modified by humans, when humans invade and modify these areas, they come into close contact with the transmission cycle. In addition, environmental changes lead to changes in the ecology of the parasite, its vectors and reservoirs that need to adapt in order to survive, thus finding shelter in peridomestic environments forming new risk areas (Valero, 2017).…”

American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) is a notifiable dermatozoonosis with relevant morbidity. The present study aimed to evaluate the epidemiological aspects of cases of ACL reported in Northern Paraná (2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016), as well as to georeference and analyse the influence of economic, social and environmental variables. Data from ACL notification forms were obtained and the patients' houses were georeferenced.Descriptive statistics, calculations of disease incidence and proportion of vegetation cover by municipality, spatial analysis, multiple linear regression and vulnerability analysis by census sector (CS) were performed. One thousand four hundred fiftyone cases of ACL were reported in the 89 municipalities of four regional health (RH). The average incidence of cases per 10,000 inhabitants was as follows: 11.58, 8.79, 4.92 and 4.03 in 18thRH, 15thRH, 16thRH and 17thRH. Peaks of incident cases were observed in 2008, 2012 and 2015. There was a statistically significant difference between the HR when comparing the proportions of the variables gender, age, education level, area of residence, clinical form, diagnostic criteria, response to treatment and drug used in case of failure. It was observed that the lower the proportion of remaining Atlantic Forest, the greater the incidence of ACL in the municipality. With regard to clusters analysis, treatment abandonment clusters were observed in How to cite this article: Caldart ET, Sevá ADP, Pinto-Ferreira F, et al.
