Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Agressão por morcegos em humanos em uma área de conservação na Amazônia Oriental(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-10-27) LIMA, Ana Paula de Lima e; FERNANDES, José Guilherme dos Santos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7023812449790431; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9946-4961; BEZERRA, Isis Abel; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3274919406647242Bat attacks on humans have been reported in the municipality of Curuçá, precisely around and within the Mãe Grande Extractive Reserve. This work aims to understand the space-time perception and the dynamics of aggressions by blood-sucking bats in humans in an extractive reserve area in the Amazon. As a methodological procedure, documentary and article references were collected. Oral interviews were also conducted with the oldest social actors and with individuals who had already been attacked from the communities visited. Individuals who confirmed that they had been assaulted by bats were georeferenced. The most affected are artisanal fishermen who live with their families or stay for seasons on the islands and beaches to fish for crab, fish or shrimp. In general, the interviewees do not relate the alteration of the landscape to the increase in aggressions, but they highlight the reduction of some animal species in this environment. However, it was possible to identify locations where aggressions have not occurred for at least 10 years associated with the introduction of electrical energy. In locations where there is no electricity, individuals with recent attacks have been identified. In the fishermen's perception, alcoholism is an important factor for the exposure of these individuals. It identifies the need for educational work for the population that is attacked, and the recognition of public policies for those individuals who become more vulnerable to bats.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Análise espaço-temporal da Leishmaniose tegumentar americana em um circuito espacial de produção na Amazônia Oriental(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-08-31) NUNES, Mayara Mariana Costa; BEZERRA, Isis Abel; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3274919406647242The Northeast and Southeast regions of Pará concentrate a high incidence of cases of American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL). It is a disease characterized as one of the main neglected tropical diseases and constitutes a challenge for public health, requiring a great operational, technical and political effort, given the environmental nature involved in the epidemiology of the disease. In this scenario, understanding the secular behavior of the disease, considering regional peculiarities, can be of great value for planning future actions. This study aimed to analyze the spatio-temporal distribution of ATL in 12 municipalities that are part of a disease production circuit in the Southeast and Northeast mesoregions of the state of Pará. For this purpose, a descriptive study of the ecological type, of a quantitative nature, was carried out through a retrospective investigation of clinical, spatial and epidemiological data from ACL, based on data collected from the Notifiable Diseases Information System in 2006. to 2020. In total, 5,097 cases of the disease were reported during the study period. The incidence fluctuated over the period analyzed, ranging from 0.64/10,000 inhabitants in 2006 to 11.5/10,000 inhabitants in 2007, showing a stationary trend. Sociodemographic data revealed that the disease primarily affects men (83.6%) in their most productive phase (75.7%) and that the disease is related to fieldwork activities (62.7%). Most cases were autochthonous, but cases were reported from two countries in Latin America and two in Africa. The highest incidences were observed in the southeast of Pará and in the municipalities of the northeast of Pará that border Paragominas. The distribution of cases may be related to mining activities that led to deforestation and population migrations from other municipalities and states, especially the state of Maranhão, in search of jobs, generating a population jump. The importance of understanding the ATL transmission process at the local level is a fundamental issue to support surveillance and environmental control actions, and to contribute to the knowledge of the dynamics and circulation of the parasite between the foci of the same high transmission region.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Raiva humana e transmissão do vírus rábico por morcegos: o que sabe e como se informa a população de um município sob risco na Amazônia brasileira(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-07-01) ANDRADE, Etiene Monteiro de; BEZERRA, Isis Abel; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3274919406647242The objective of this study was to verify what the population of Curuçá, a municipality in the Amazon of Pará, in which bat attacks are second in reports of aggression by animals, knows about the transmission, prevention and risks of rabies, especially that transmitted bats, as well as identifying the means of communication used by the population to inform themselves about the disease and news in general. A cross-sectional observational study was carried out, with a sample of 377 city dwellers, randomly selected by means of a proportional stratified sampling, considering the census sectors of Curuçá as strata. These subjects answered a semi-structured questionnaire to assess what they knew about rabies and the means used to obtain this information. As a result, it was found that the majority of respondents (72.9%) stated that they know what rabies is, although they do not know how to indicate aspects such as reservoirs, forms of transmission and symptoms, in addition to not presenting self-care practices for rabies. prevention. It was also found that the bat is the second most present animal in reports of aggressions (24.6%) and that the majority of respondents (67.9%) were unaware of the outbreaks in the state in 2004 and 2005. It was concluded with this study that the knowledge of the population of Curuçá about rabies is limited, obtained mainly in their own circle of coexistence, through personal contacts and as for the mass media, a preference was found to obtain information by means that do not require reading, such as television and radio. This work points out what content needs to be accessible to this population and the means of communication that would be most effective in this socio-geographical and cultural context.
