ABSTRACT

Urban heat islands are characterized by high land surface temperature, low humidity, and poor vegetation, and considered to favor the transmission of the mosquito-borne dengue fever that is transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. We analyzed the recorded dengue incidence in Sao Paulo city, Brazil, in 2010-2011, in terms of multiple environmental and socioeconomic variables. Geographical information systems, thermal remote sensing images, and census data were used to classify city areas according to land surface temper- ature, vegetation cover, population density, socioeconomic status, and housing standards. Of the 7415 dengue cases, a majority (93.1%) mapped to areas with land surface temperature >28 ◦ C. The dengue incidence rate (cases per 100,000 inhabitants) was low (3.2 cases) in high vegetation cover areas, but high (72.3 cases) in low vegetation cover areas where the land surface temperature was 29 ± 2 ◦ C. Interestingly, a multiple cluster analysis phenogram showed more dengue cases clustered in areas of land surface temperature >32 ◦ C, than in areas characterized as low socioeconomic zones, high population density areas, or slum-like areas. In laboratory experiments, A. aegypti mosquito larval development, blood feeding, and oviposition associated positively with temperatures of 28-32 ◦ C, indicating these temperatures to be favorable for dengue transmission. Thus, among all the variables studied, dengue incidence was most affected by the temperature.

ABSTRACT

Em 2011, a partir de rumor da presença de gatos com a zoonose esporotricose, iniciou-se uma investigação epidemiológica no Distrito Administrativo de Itaquera, município de São Paulo, para detecção de possível surto e definição de medidas de controle. Delimitou-se a área geográfica de trabalho para busca ativa de casos em animais e pessoas, coletando-se material para diagnóstico. Animais diagnosticados receberam tratamento e acompanhamento domiciliar periódico. Casos humanos suspeitos foram encaminhados para atendimento médico. Os proprietários foram orientados sobre a doença, a importância da domiciliação, cuidados para a medicação e manejo dos animais. Mutirões de esterilização foram realizados para diminuir a circulação de animais, a dispersão da doença e identificação de suspeitos. Informações para detecção de novos casos foram divulgadas entre médicos e veterinários da rede de saúde. Entre abril de 2011 a dezembro de 2013 foram detectados 114 gatos e um cão positivos e 13 pessoas com lesões sugestivas. Observou-se um decréscimo da incidência de casos humanos e felinos no período. A adesão e o comprometimento dos proprietários com o tratamento, propiciados pelo vínculo de confiança estabelecido com a equipe de Vigilância em Saúde, a esterilização de animais e o manejo adequado dos gatos evitaram o abandono e diminuíram a transmissão. Os resultados indicam que a estratégia adotada foi efetiva para a detecção e controle do surto e recuperação dos animais. A continuidade do monitoramento será fundamental para diagnóstico precoce e redução de casos em humanos e animais...
