The magnitude of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) has been increased in the state of São Paulo (SP) since 1998, assuming characteristics of an emerging injury due to their dispersion state. It has been occurring in urban areas with high population density. It is necessary to expand the knowledge about the risk factors for its occurrence and dispersion. Objectives: 1- Evaluate the temporal and …
For entomological surveillance of sandflies (Diptera, Psychodidae), vectors of leishmaniasis, entomological captures are recommended using two methods: (1) manual collections with electric vacuum cleaners in resting places of the insect and (2) exposure of traps with light bait, in likely locations of vector creation. Few studies have compared the use of these methods, especially in urban…
In recent decades, the epidemiological situation of vector-borne diseases has become progressively worse, as well as the introduction of new diseases, as a consequence of the alteration of the environment due to anthropogenic activities, which led to the adaptation and dispersion of originally wild urban areas. Thus, entomological surveillance methods should incorporate new surveillance t…
