Abstract: Introduction: Malaria is one of the major parasitic diseases in the State of Rondônia, located in the western Brazilian Amazon. The basic treatment scheme for this disease is chloroquine and primaquine. This study evaluated the epidemiological profile of malaria in Rondônia between 2008 and 2012. Methodology: The epidemiological data were provided by the Health Surveillance Agency from the State of Rondônia, and socioeconomic indicators were obtained from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, De… Show more

“…Also, five of these 12 papers supported the idea that initial deforestation in new settlements increases malaria risk, but as deforestation proceeds it can translate into lower malaria risk [13,17,3739]. Fifteen per cent of reviewed articles (7 of 47) specifically evaluated deforestation rate [10,16,25,39,43,47,48], but only three of these found a positive association between deforestation and malaria [39,47,48]. In short, we fail to find overwhelming evidence supporting a consistent simple and straightforward relationship between forests, deforestation rate and malaria.…”

“…A more specific look at relapse cases is also necessary due to its relevance for the maintenance of the endemic disease, its high prevalence rate and consequent challenges for health surveillance 25 .…”

“…In fact, we observed a decrease in malaria API throughout the region. As an example, there is a reduction of up to 58% in number of malaria cases and 36% in number of disease relapses between 2008 and 2012 in Rondônia, a related trend mainly to improvements in economy, development of local health system and desforestment reduction 17 . This relationship between the states corroborates with the analysis described in this study.…”
