“…A literatura não apresenta relações entre prevalência de esquistossomose e raça. Entretanto, as condições de vida às quais está submetida a população negra aproxima-a mais do risco de adquirir doenças e agravos à saúde (NERES et al, 2011). É importante destacar a subnotificação da variável raça/cor nas fichas de notificação relativas à doença, o que pode ocasionar prevalências não verdadeiras da mesma.…”

Aproximadamente 82% da população mundial não tem acesso à água potável de qualidade. Anualmente, mais de cinco milhões de pessoas morrem por adquirirem doenças relacionadas à água. Em 2019, a OMS estima que, 15 mil pessoas morreram e 350 mil foram internadas no Brasil devido a doenças ligadas à precariedade do saneamento básico. Cerca 35 milhões de brasileiros não têm acesso a água tratada e metade da população não tem serviços de coleta de esgoto. Nesse contexto, a situação do Brasil quanto à esquistossomose é de que, cerca de 1,5 milhões de pessoas vivem em áreas sob o risco de contrair a doença. Os estados das regiões Nordeste e Sudeste são os mais afetados. Pretende-se, por meio desta pesquisa levantar os dados históricos (2007 a 2022) epidemiológicos de notificações de esquistossomose em Minas Gerais e nas cidades pertencentes à Bacia do Rio Paranaíba. Foram eleitos como objeto da pesquisa os indivíduos cadastrados na base de dados do sistema SINAN, na seção Doenças e Agravos de Notificação-2007 em diante, independentemente de sua faixa etária. O Instituto Mineiro de Gestão das Águas divide a bacia em três sub-bacias (PN1, PN2 e PN3). Os dados de notificação de casos de esquistossomose foram correlacionados por meio de levantamentos gráficos, levando-se em consideração as sub-bacias. Em Minas Gerais, a maior incidência de esquistossomose configurou-se entre 2009 a 2011, sendo essa mais predominante em 2010. Já na bacia do Rio Paranaíba as maiores incidências ocorreram nos anos de 2013, 2015 e 2019. Para todo o período avaliado, a sub-bacia PN2 possui maior incidência de notificações de esquistossomose.

Socioenvironmental factors associated with Schistosoma mansoni infection and intermediate hosts in an urban area of northeastern Brazil

et al. 2018

Schistosomiasis, which is caused by trematodes of the genus Schistosoma and by the species Schistosoma mansoni in Brazil, is transmitted primarily by Biomphalaria glabrata mollusks. Infections occur in humans and mollusks in freshwater environments contaminated with feces from infected humans. This study aimed to evaluate potential foci of schistosomiasis based on the identification of infection sites for the snails, factors that increased the human infection probability of S. mansoni infection, and the relationship of the disease with abiotic, biotic, and sociocultural factors. The study was conducted in an urban area on the northeast coast of Brazil; this location was chosen based on the following factors: the presence of B. glabrata, nearby freshwater, and the absence of sewer treatment. A parasitological analysis was performed to evaluate infections of the mollusks and residents inside the perimeter defined by the collection points. Questionnaires were applied to obtain demographic data and to identify behaviors that led to human infection. To verify the contamination of freshwater by human feces, a microbiological analysis of the water was performed at the mollusk collection points to determine the rate of contamination with fecal coliforms. A total of 10,270 B. glabrata mollusks were collected between August 2013 and August 2014, of which 8.8% were positive for S. mansoni; the prevalence ranged from 0 to 34.5% over the study period. A total of 232 coprological samples from the residents were analyzed. The S. mansoni infection prevalence rate was 16.4%, and the S. mansoni parasitic load in the infected residents was 54.9 eggs per gram of feces on average. Males were more affected by the parasite, especially in the 8-17-year-old age range. Thermotolerant coliforms were observed at the mollusk collection sites, which indicated that freshwater and sewage were in continuous contact. This contamination indicated poor sanitary conditions, as was previously observed, which could be combined with detrimental behavior due to the residents' habits. These conditions cause a predisposition for both intermediate and definitive infections of the hosts by creating a socioenvironmental scenario that is conducive to the formation and maintenance of potential schistosomiasis foci. This and similar areas deserve special attention from the government with an aim of improving sanitation services and local resident knowledge to prevent future contamination.

Schistosomiasis mansoni in families of fishing workers of endemic area of Alagoas

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Objective: To analyze the epidemiological and clinical aspects involved in the transmission and manifestation of schistosomiasis in a community of fishermen from the endemic area of Alagoas. Methods: Epidemiological, transversal, prospective, descriptive, quantitative study. The coproparasitological survey included 275 family units of fish workers and the epidemiological and clinical ones, those with a positive diagnosis for S. mansoni. Results: The prevalence of schistosomiasis was 13.9% (fishermen), 2.1% (shellfish) and 2.1% (family members). The occurrence of the infection varied according to gender, age, ethnicity and socioeconomic status. Exposure occurred near the home. Autochthonous and predominant low parasite burden, intestinal clinical presentation, abdominal pain and diarrhea were observed. There were no nutritional and pressure changes associated with parasitosis. Adherence to drug therapy and use of the schistosomicidal drug was feared. Conclusion: Fish workers are at high risk for contracting the disease with clinical hepatointestinal manifestation, which requires more intense health actions.
