The leishmaniasis is an infectious disease no contagious of chronic evolution with high mortality rate, and Brazil notifies about 90% of the cases of the American continent. His importance in the context of the public health has been increasing in function of the crescent number of cases that is happening not only in the rural area as well as in the periphery of great urban centers. The epidemiology of LV in Brazil is based on the occurrence of clinical cases. In this sense the present study intended to study the behavior of the canine infection and of other factors for the human infection. Because little it is known on the determinant of the infection and his importance in the maintenance of the disease. For that a place municipal district of Barcarena was defined, where the population is stable, happening the disease in an endemic way. The study accompanied during one year two cohorts, being one for canine teeth, with 172 dogs, and one for humans, with 1064 people of which only 1012 participated in the material collection, because 52 people were out of the strip of compatible age for the accomplishment of the procedures. The accomplishment of the test serology through the Reaction of Indirect Imunofluorescência (RIFI), she had as purpose the determination of the initial prevalence of infection and the incidences in two moments of the study, so much of the population human as canine. It was also accomplished in the human population Montenegro's Intradermo Reação (IDRM) with the same purpose, to check the prevalence and infection incidence through this method. Other factors were also analyzed and they can be associated to the risk for the infection. The statistical analysis of the data was accomplished with of the programs EPI INFO version 6.04 and BIOESTAT version 3.0 and the applied tests were Qui - Square and the prevalence calculation and incidence. In the inquiry canine serology it was observed a prevalence of canine infection of 37,2% and the incidence six months after, it was of 29,2%. In the interval of second for the third collection the euthanasia of the dogs positive serology was accomplished, in a total of 70 dogs, because 15 had died before the intervention. The incidence made calculations after the intervention showed a tax of 14,6%, what characterizes a reduction of about 50%. As for the titulation, in all of the stages titles were observed considered high. It is worth to stand out that of the 54 animals that didn't present clinical signs, 30 were infected (55,5%). When accomplished the inquiry human serology it was observed a prevalence of human infection of 5,25%, and the incidence six months after it was of 1,69% and in the it finishes evaluation 6,52%, with increase about 300% for RIFI, while for IDRM the initial prevalence was respectively of 10,78% and the incidences of 4,75% and 7,30% to the six and twelve months of the study. In relation to the characteristics of the population it was observed that she enters them infected there was not prevalence of any age group. The variable sex was not significant for the infection occurrence. On them infected so much by RIFI, as IDRM, stands out the statistical significance of the variable occupation, and in this context, the category farmer was the one that came with larger proportion. The variables time residence in the place, residence proximity with the forest, destiny of the garbage and dejections also showed - if significant. Although in the variable age group, the distribution of the infected by RIFI was not predominant in any strip; in IDRM, it was observed that as it increases the age also increases the proportion of having infected. Other results were observed of great relevance for the association to the infection risk, but the observation as to have infected for RIFI and IDRM it was the one that deserved prominence in function of the statistical significance. The study was shown appropriate goes the knowledge of the prevalences and incidences of canine and human infection in the place, the well the behavior of adds factors that associated they can be constituted in risk goes infection and that the elimination of dogs seropositives reduces the incidence of canine infection mean while no doesn't alter the course of the human infection, could have other wild reservoirs involved in the transmission.
