Aiming to demonstrate the spatiotemporal evolution of Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) in the State of Alagoas, an ecological study of a historical series of new cases of Human Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) was carried out in the Information System of Notifiable Diseases (SINAN) of the Ministry of Health according to the municipality of residence in the state of Alagoas-BR, period 2008 to 2019. Data were presented in triannual thematic maps of the geographic distribution of HVL. In the period (2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018)(2019) 509 new cases were reported, residing in 69 municipalities in the state. Of these, Palmeira dos Índios had the highest number of cases (54 cases -10.6%), followed by São José da Tapera (36 cases -7.1%). The spatiotemporal evolution shows the endemicity of the disease in the Sertão and Agreste region of the state. The analysis of serological data for Canine Visceral Leishmaniasis (CVL) and cases of HVL for the year 2019, shows the presence in almost all municipalities in these regions. The expansion and consolidation of VL in the municipalities evidences the necessary adoption of more effective measures to prevent and control the disease. In addition to the search for effective tools for the elimination and treatment of the disease aimed at protecting the individual and the community, the commitment of the whole society is necessary to prevent this zoonosis from definitively perpetuating as a sanitary disease in the entire state of Alagoas.
