“…This requires recycling courses to ensure that correct information is spread throughout the population. Studies have revealed gaps in the knowledge of these professionals with regard to leishmaniasis, particularly for topics such as prevention and control [ 24 , 53 ]. Public media, such as television, radio, and local social networks, have also been underused [ 54 ], further restricting the dissemination of information to the population.…”

“…Precarious information about the disease was even presented in didactic books distributed in public school systems [ 22 ], collaborating to misinformation of elementary/middle school teachers [ 23 ]. This associated with a lack of knowledge among basic care professionals and the general population results in inefficient prevention or control measures [ 24 – 28 ]. Saha et al [ 9 ] argue that ignorance and inadequate education/training in places of greater socioenvironmental vulnerability build “problem areas” where an increase in vector-borne diseases can be seen.…”

Aiming to optimize and adjust leishmaniasis prevention and control measures for the resident population of Pains, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, a structured questionnaire containing conceptual questions and questions about household characteristics was used to evaluate knowledge level and exposure risk. A total of 396 individuals were interviewed revealing unscientific and fragmented knowledge about the subject for most of the studied population. The female population was found to have 1.68 times more chance of knowing about the disease than the male population, while highly educated individuals were found to have 2.92 times more chances of knowing about leishmaniasis compared to basic educated individuals. All of the respondents reported the presence of, at least, one risk factor, while ages ≥40 years were considered a protective factor compared to younger ages, indicating that older individuals are more likely to recognize risks and protect themselves against leishmaniasis. These results will contribute to the production of didactic materials for the population with respect to their previous knowledge and will provide a basis for control and prophylactic measures.

“…Tendo como obstáculo a falta de conhecimento dos usuários e profissionais sobre a LTA, a população afetada enfrenta dificuldade no diagnóstico precoce e, no município em que a pesquisa foi realizada, não foi diferente: (MENEZES et. al., 2014).83 agentes comunit\u00e1rios de sa\u00fade, 18 m\u00e9dicos, 17 enfermeiros, 8 dentistas e 7 veterin\u00e1rios…”
