Avaliação do impacto das ações de controle vetorial da doença de Chagas através do inquérito sorológico em Mambaí/Buritinópolis, Goiás

Abstract: Resumo Em 1999, realizamos a avaliação do impacto das medidas de controle vetorial sobre a transmissão da doença de Chagas nas áreas endêmicas Mambaí e Bruritinópolis (GO). Abstract In 1999, we performed serological and entomological surveys to evaluate the impact of vectorial control measures against transmission of Chagas' disease in the endemic area of Mambaí and Buritinópolis (GO). A census was undertaken of the population, after which the entomological survey was performed regarding

“…Repeated serodiagnosis in endemic rural areas over many years showed some departures from the expected pattern of lifelong seroreactivity to T. cruzi in humans (ref. 27 and this study) but hardly ever in dogs (16,22). Although improved, highly specific serological tests are necessary to assess the impact of field interventions and treatment in humans, the use of dogs as disease sentinels and bug-related indices demonstrated large differences in domestic transmission between sustained and pulsedcontrol areas.…”

“…Finally, for four among these 57 T. cruzi -confirmed seropositive children, the mothers were seronegative, and one child had received a prior blood transfusion. This information was documented to update the findings that had been gathered on the extent and the risk of the transmission of Chagas disease in Paraguay in 2001 ( Peñaranda-Carrillo et al 2002 , OPS 2004 ).…”
