No Brasil, sua forma de transmissao se da por meio da picada dos vetores Lutzomyia longipalpis e Lutzomyia cruzi, infectados pelo tripanosomatideo Leishmania (Leishmania) chagasi. Na area urbana, o cao (Canis familiaris) e sua principal fonte de infeccao. Em Mato Grosso, 33,33% dos municipios tiveram registro de LV no periodo de 2001 a 2013. Atualmente Rondonopolis registra o maior numero de casos notificados do estado, sendo o unico em transmissao intensa. Objetivos: O presente estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar os possiveis fatores determinantes no processo de urbanizacao e transmissao da LV em area urbana do ...

Methods: Adult mosquitoes were collected in the urban areas of four municipalities in Mato Grosso within 1 year. Results: A total of 19,110 mosquitoes were collected. Among them, 16,578 (86,8%) were C. quinquefasciatus (44% female and 56% male); 2,483 (13%), A. (Stegomyia) aegypti (54% female and 46% male); and 49 (0,30%), from the genus Psorophora, Anopheles, Coquilettidia, and Sabethes. A significant correlation was observed between the number of mosquitoes from all species and dew point (female mosquitoes, p = 0.001; male mosquitoes, p = 0.001). Conclusions: The results of this study may be used as environmental indicators of mosquito populations.

The disease has expanded and become more prevalent in urban areas in Brazil. Geospatial analyses were performed and thematic maps of the triad of the disease were produced for the study period (2003-2012) in the urban area of the municipality of Rondonópolis in the midwestern State of Mato Grosso (MT), Brazil, TerraView 4.2.2 software was used for the analyses. A total of 87.9% of the 186 confirmed human cases of VL were cured. Children between the ages of 1 and 4 were the most affected. Registered deaths were predominant among adults aged 60 years or older. The urban area of the municipality consists of eight strata and 12 census districts include 237 neighborhoods. All sectors had confirmed cases of VL. During the study period, human cases of the disease were recorded in 90 neighborhoods. The 23 deaths from the disease were distribu...
