This article presents the data stemming from a research developed through of the pedagogical practice involving the use of mathematical modeling and theme leishmaniasis, a proposal to teaching and learning. The objective is to identify and explore the relationships between Biology and Mathematics, existing in the theme leishmaniasis from the development of pedagogical activities through Mathematical Modeling.The research was qualitative and a case study  that  involved students of the 2nd year of high school. The instruments used to collect data was the teacher's field diary, classroom video recordings, audio and questionnaires given to students. Data were analyzed according to the discursive and textual approach of Moraes and Galiazzi (2006). The activities were conducted in groups, involving the issue of occurrence of Leishmaniasis in Rubim-MG, which was studied by Mathematical Modeling methodology relating Biology and Mathematics. The results show that the use of Mathematical Modelling in the teaching and learning about leishmaniasis in high school allows for the establishment of a relevant relationship between biology and mathematics, which has important implications, such as: to relate the topic to the everyday student ; making use of mathematical knowledge, among others.
