The current epidemiological scenario in Brazil is worrying since in the last years thousands of cases of dengue (DEN), zika (ZIK) and chikungunya (CHIK) have been reported. These arboviruses and their complications are important public health problems, and studies in the state of São Paulo are extremely fragmented, often unrelated to the triple vector x population x environment. The Aedes…
In Brazil, visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a serious public health problem because of its magnitude, geographical expansion and potential harms caused by illnesses, including death. However, VL is largely ignored in discussions of tropical disease priorities. Thus, this study aimed to identify factors associated with the expansion of VL and the dispersion of its vector, Lutzomyia longipalp…
Dengue is an infectious viral disease and one of the most important arboviruses in the world. The virus is maintained in a cycle of urban transmission man - mosquitoes - man: The vector control is a prevention strategies most commonly used. Often the Dengue studies regard only reported cases without grouping data relating to past epidemics. Through a prospective cohort study lasting from …
The visceral leishmaniasis is the most severe clinical form of leishmaniasis and is considered an emerging disease by the World Health Organization. In São Paulo, the first autochthonous case was detected in 1998, in the same way that expansion occurs into urban areas all over Brazil since the 1980s, the visceral leishmaniasis has expanded to other municipalities' urban areas of the São P…

Chikungunya and Zika are arboviruses considered neglected tropical diseases and emerging diseases. They are caused by virus transmitted in the Americas by the bite of mosquitoes of the species Aedes aegypti. They are diseases subject to climate change, as variations in temperature and precipitation can affect the survival, reproduction and distribution of virus and their vector. The objec…
Dengue is a disease considered an important public health problem, whose incidence has expanded abruptly in recent decades. This increase has been linked, among other things, to changes in climatic conditions that can affect different aspects of the disease. Currently, there is no vaccine available and the identification of areas at risk for Dengue is given by entomological surveillance o…
Yellow fever (YF) is a non-contagious viral disease of short duration and unstable severity, being mild and, in some cases, severe, in which it typically presents with jaundice and bleeding, being able to have deaths due to viscerotropic disease. The last epidemic, which began in late 2016, recorded 1.904 of human cases, with 547 deaths and 2.116 epizootic cases in Brazil, mainly in the S…
Currently the Aedes aegypti mosquito is the most important urban vector of dengue, zika, chikungunya in Brazil and other tropical countries. The main measure to prevent these arboviruses remains the control of this vector. To better understand the population and seasonal dynamics of Ae. aegypti, and, consequently, to improve its control measures, we propose here to analyze the morphology …

Dengue is considered a neglected disease and an important public health problem, being one of the leading causes of death and hospitalization among arboviruses, affecting several countries in the world, including Brazil. In the country, the current scenario is considered hyperendemic for the disease, with an increase in the occurrence of fatal cases and with the co-circulation of the four…
Mosquito-borne disease affects million people in the world, and its transmission area continues to expand due to many factors linked to urban sprawl, increased travel and global warming. The Aedes aegypti mosquito plays a central role in the dissemination of dengue, zika, chikungunya and urban yellow fever. Current preventative measures include mosquito control programs but unfortunately,…
The present proposal links with the thematic project titled "Epidemiological study of Dengue (serotypes1-4), Zika and Chikungunya in a cohort of São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo, Brazil" (FAPESP Process # 2013/21719-3). The main goal of this proposal is to study the obtained data of the first wave of the thematic project that was developed in 2016 (results of laboratorial tests, of quest…
