“…Pelo Box-plot, observou-se que os anos diferem em patamar e não obedecem a um perfil O município enfrenta dificuldades no desenvolvimento das ações de controle, não só por problemas técnico-operacionais do próprio serviço, mas também pela crescente resistência dos proprietários em permitir o acesso dos agentes de saúde às suas residências para controle químico e coleta de sangue animal, pela recusa para entrega do cão positivo para eutanásia, e, ainda, pelo crescente número de cães sendo tratados por médicos veterinários, apesar da proibição pelo MS. A maioria dos cães não apresenta sinais clínicos da doença (Marzochi et al, 1985), mas pode participar como fonte de infecção em seu ciclo de transmissão.

“…In study of Magalhães et al, students from the 5th and 8th grades were participants of study. 6 Mean age was 10 years (range: 9-14) in the 5 th grade and 14 years (range: 13-17) in the 8th grade. And 46.8% were boys and 53.2% girls.…”
Background: In India, diarrhoea caused more than 130,000 child deaths in 2013. This also accounts for roughly one-fourth of all global diarrhoea deaths among children under five years of age. The incidence of diarrhoeal disease in rural India is 12% and in urban India is 9%.Acute diarrheal disease is both preventable and treatable. Untreated severe diarrhoea leads to fluid loss and it may be life-threatening especially in young children and among the people who are high risk like malnourished or have impaired immunity. Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out among the secondary high school children (8th std) Azad high school, Kasegaon to find out the relationship between maternal education and socioeconomic status on knowledge, attitude and practice of mother and her child regarding acute diarrhoeal diseases. A pre-structured and pretested questionnaire was used to get the information regarding definition, causes, signs, symptoms, treatment, preparation of ORS, prevention of diarrheal etc. Results: Nearly 57% of the mothers had school education and 10% had college education and illiteracy was 36%. As per the occupation 46.6% were farmers, 30.6% were labours and 14% were housewives. Mother’s education was significantly associated with children Knowledge, attitude whereas practice was not associated. Illiterate mothers had significant poor knowledge and attitude. Conclusions: Maternal education and maternal socio economic status has important role is ascertaining the knowledge, attitude and practice of her children regarding acute diarrhoeal diseases.
“…Thus, it is not sufficient that the government provides free treatment to the people, it is also necessary to disseminate that information in an effective manner to every strata of people in the affected region. In a study in Brazil, awareness was spread in communities through educating school children, who in turn were assigned to discuss interventions mentioned in student’s homework assignments with their family members [39]. This intervention improved awareness significantly.Fig.…”
ObjectivesNeglected tropical diseases (NTD), account for a large proportion of the global disease burden, and their control faces several challenges including diminishing human and financial resources for those distressed from such diseases. Visceral leishmaniasis (VL), the second-largest parasitic killer (after malaria) and an NTD affects poor populations and causes considerable cost to the affected individuals. Mathematical models can serve as a critical and cost-effective tool for understanding VL dynamics, however, complex array of socio-economic factors affecting its dynamics need to be identified and appropriately incorporated within a dynamical modeling framework. This study reviews literature on vector-borne diseases and collects challenges and successes related to the modeling of transmission dynamics of VL. Possible ways of creating a comprehensive mathematical model is also discussed.MethodsPublished literature in three categories are reviewed: (i) identifying non-traditional but critical mechanisms for VL transmission in resource limited regions, (ii) mathematical models used for dynamics of Leishmaniasis and other related vector borne infectious diseases and (iii) examples of modeling that have the potential to capture identified mechanisms of VL to study its dynamics.ResultsThis review suggests that VL elimination have not been achieved yet because existing transmission dynamics models for VL fails to capture relevant local socio-economic risk factors. This study identifies critical risk factors of VL and distribute them in six categories (atmosphere, access, availability, awareness, adherence, and accedence). The study also suggests novel quantitative models, parts of it are borrowed from other non-neglected diseases, for incorporating these factors and using them to understand VL dynamics and evaluating control programs for achieving VL elimination in a resource-limited environment.ConclusionsControlling VL is expensive for local communities in endemic countries where individuals remain in the vicious cycle of disease and poverty. Smarter public investment in control programs would not only decrease the VL disease burden but will also help to alleviate poverty. However, dynamical models are necessary to evaluate intervention strategies to formulate a cost-effective optimal policy for eradication of VL.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12982-017-0065-3) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
