The map for shows higher rates in the northern and southern regions, especially in the more peripheral census tracts, and in some tracts in the central and eastern regions. National Center for Biotechnology Information , U. Hospital dos Servidores do Estado. Therefore, this pattern is usually referred to as smoothed. Lutzomyia longipalpis Diptera, Psychodidae, Phlebotominae and urbanization of visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil. Seeking to minimize the problem of instability in the incidence rates calculated for small areas, we opted to correct them by using an empirical Bayesian approach. In , the risk decreased in the urban area as a whole, but there was medium-risk VL foci in southern and southeastern regions.

Identification of Risk Areas for Visceral Leishmaniasis in Teresina, Piaui State, Brazil
Thus, although VL is a serious disease subject to mandatory reporting and the treatment of which is only provided by government health servicesthe available data are based on passive case detection, and one cannot rule out the possibility of case underreporting. These results suggests that the ideal conditions for establishment and maintenance of transmission are found in these places and that the pattern of VL occurrence is not static and disease may occasionally spread to other areas of the municipality.
Thus, the current study aimed to identify areas at greatest risk of VL in the urban area of Teresina, Piaui State, Brazil, during — To describe the spatial correlation between the smoothed VL rate and socioeconomic and demographic indicators, the bivariate global Moran's I statistic was used, which tests whether geographically connected areas display greater similarity in terms of the target indicator than would be expected considering epidfmiologia random pattern.
In this fashion, the utilization of geographical information systems may become a powerful tool to support dengue prevention and control actions.

The authors estimated risk areas for hepatitis A in four census tracts from Duque de Caxias, in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The knowledge of the productivity of the various types of breeding sites in the urban environment, of environmental conditioning factors, and of the presence and dynamics of the dengue virus in mosquitoes is very relevant to understand the disease transmission dynamics. Bras J Infect Dis ;3: A visual grasp of the thematic maps shows that the tracts with the highest incidence rates were located in the northern, eastern, and southern regions of the city, which also include the census tracts with the lowest percentage of robetro with running water, garbage collection except for the southern regionand sewage connections, the highest illiteracy rate, and the lowest mean income Figure 4.
Principles, Techniques, Management and Applications. A categoria "outras etiologias" incluiu diversos agentes: A more detailed analysis by using a local indication of spatial autocorrelation showed that in the beginning of the study period local clusters of high incidence of VL were mostly located in the southern fpidemiologia northeastern parts of the city, but in subsequent years those clusters also appeared in the northern region of the city.
In fact, the integration of actions to control the vector should begin within health departments themselves, given that in many of them disease surveillance is not integrated to entomology surveillance.

The estimate of productivity could define risk areas more accurately rboerto contribute to optimize vector control actions. Epidemiologgia estimating the intensity of occurrence of VL cases in the entire surface analyzed, this non-parametric approach enables filtering the variability of a dataset, while maintaining its principal local characteristics. One should bear in mind that although dengue fever is clearly related to the health sector, it is not a specific problem of this sector.
The most frequent etiologies were: Tropical and Geographical Medicine. A letalidade foi em geral alta para quase todas as etiologias.
Hospital dos Servidores do Estado. The digital database for the urban census tract grid for was obtained from the IBGE. An operational spinoff of this study is the indication that the use of the kernel ratio to detect areas at highest risk of occurrence of VL cases may be useful for assisting LV surveillance and control measures.
Areas with greater risk of VL were detected through the kernel ratio, a smoothed estimate of the risk surface, which is calculated by the ratio between the kernel intensity of cases in relation to the kernel of the population distribution, obtained thusly:.
Initially, one observes that the census tracts in the southern region of the city generally show medium occurrence of VL in nearly every year studied; the greatest intensities were in Dos confirmados, foram internados no hospital, constituindo o universo estudado. Kernel density is an appropriate interpolation technique for individual point positions that is based on a epidemillogia function that creates a symmetrical surface on each point, evaluating the distance from the point to a reference position, and later adding up the values of all the surfaces for this reference position.

Annual population estimates for each census tract were obtained by interpolation using a geometric growth equation with an annual component for population data from the Demographic Census and the Population Count.
