Resumo: | Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) still persists as an important public health problem in Brazil and has shown signs of increasing cases in recent years. Therefore, in the present work, a classic epidemiological research of quantitative, descriptive and exploratory character, the objective of this study was to evaluate the spatiotemporal distribution of this protozoal disease in the country and its different socio-administrative regions, while observing its distribution profile by age and gender, using secondary databases available on government websites. It was observed that the northern and northeastern regions, particularly the northern region, were the most affected, possibly due to environmental factors such as climatic conditions, density of forested areas, and diversity of sand fly species that prevail in this region. It was also possible to observe a significantly higher number of cases among men and children, possibly related to the activity patterns that men engage in and physiological and immunological factors related to children. The results obtained allow us to emphasize the design of prevention strategies aimed at minimizing the morbidity resulting from VL, such as treatment and population control of dogs, as well as the implementation of educational measures and strategic vector control. |

Así, enel presente trabajo, una investigación epidemiológica clásica de carácter cuantitativo, descriptivo y exploratorio, el objetivo fueevaluarladistribuciónespacio-temporal de esta protozoosisenel país y en sus diferentes regionessocioadministrativas, observando su perfil de distribución por edades. y sexo, utilizando bases de datos de datossecundariosdisponiblesensitios web gubernamentales. Se observó que lasregiones Norte y Nordeste, conénfasisenlaregión Norte, fueronlas más afectadas, posiblementedebido a factoresambientales como problemas climáticos, densidad de regionesboscosas y diversidad de especies de flebótomos que predominanen esta región. Tambiénfueposible observar un número significativamente mayor de casos entre hombres y niños, posiblemente relacionados conelpatrón de actividades que desarrollanloshombres y factores fisiológicos e inmunológicos relacionados conlosniños. Los resultados obtenidospermiten destacar eldiseño de estrategias de prevención, encaminadas a minimizar lamorbilidad derivada de la LV, como eltratamiento y controlpoblacional de perros, además de laimplementación de medidas educativas encaminadas al control estratégico del vector.A leishmaniose visceral (LV) ainda persiste como um importante problema de saúde pública no Brasil e tem apresentado indícios de aumento de casos nos últimos anos. Sendo assim no presente trabalho, uma pesquisa epidemiológica clássica de caráter quantitativo descritivo e exploratório, objetivou-se avaliar a distribuição tempo-espacial dessa protozoose no país e em suas diferentes regiões socio administrativas observando o seu perfil de distribuição por idade e sexo, utilizando bancos de dados secundários disponíveis em sites governamentais. Observou-se que as regiões norte e nordeste, com destaque para a região Norte, foram as mais acometidas, possivelmente devido a fatores ambientais como questões climáticas, densidade de regiões de floresta e diversidade de espécies de flebotomíneos que predominam nessa região. Também foi possível observar um número de casos significativamente maior entre homens e crianças estando possivelmente estes casos relacionados com o padrão de atividades que os homens desenvolvem e fatores fisiológicos e imunológicos relacionados as crianças. Os resultados obtidos permitem destacar o delineamento de estratégias de prevenção, voltadas a minimizar a morbidade decorrente da LV, a exemplo do tratamento e controle populacional de cães, além da implantação de medidas educacionais e voltadas a um controle estratégico do vetor.Research, Society and Development2023-07-03info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/4241510.33448/rsd-v12i6.42415Research, Society and Development; Vol. 12 No. 6; e28712642415Research, Society and Development; Vol. 12 Núm. 6; e28712642415Research, Society and Development; v. 12 n. 6; e287126424152525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/42415/34269Copyright (c) 2023 Alessandra Domiciano Ribeiro; Vanessa Jeronimo de Senne Mattos; Juliana da Silva Pereira Salgado; Matheus Diniz Gonçalves Coêlhohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRibeiro, Alessandra Domiciano Mattos, Vanessa Jeronimo de Senne Salgado, Juliana da Silva Pereira Coêlho, Matheus Diniz Gonçalves 2023-07-06T11:16:27Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/42415Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2023-07-06T11:16:27Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
