“…On the other hand, upon examining the ratio of leptospirosis cases by precipitation index, a ratio of 3.45 cases per average variation in rainfall was found from October to March, while this ratio in the period from April to September was 1.92 cases. The seasonality found in the current study is similar to that found in the city of Rio de Janeiro 3 , in the State of Pernambuco 16 , in Minas Gerais 23 , in Sao Paulo 24 , in the city of Salvador 26 , in the Autonomous Region of Azores 29 and in the municipalities of Baixada Fluminense in RJ 30 .…”

The objective of the study is to analyze the temporal trend of leptospirosis incidence, according to rainfall levels in Santa Catarina, according to seasonality, from 2005 to 2015. This is an ecological study of time series, with date of leptospirosis, rainfall levels and population. The incidence rates of leptospirosis, relative excess of incidence, Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) and an angular coefficient (β) were analyzed from the linear regression adjustment, with a 5% significance level. Distribution of leptospirosis cases, rainfall levels and cases reason/rainfall levels, stratified by month of occurrence were presented. There were 5,274 cases of leptospirosis, with the monthly average being 439 cases, ranging from 211 in September to 770 in January. The mean rate of leptospirosis was 7.03 per 100,000 habitants. The average rainfall level was 158.68 mm, with the lowest levels occurring in August, average of 124.9 mm, and the highest in January average of 213.20 mm. The positive correlation between leptospirosis rates and rainfall levels, during the period from January to December (r = 0.68, p = 0.023), indicates a positive temporal association between the amount of rainfall and the cases of the disease. The disease occurred all year round and presented a distinct seasonality from October to March.

“…Other studies have reported similar results, with the disease more prevalent in males and in economically active age groups in Brazil 11,[17][18][19] and abroad [20][21][22][23][24] , but the type of exposure and the risk factors associated with the disease varied around the world. In general, in more developed countries, the disease is linked to occupational activities, recreational activities and international trips to endemic areas, mainly for adventure tourism 25,26 .…”

Objectives: This study aimed to describe the incidence and proportional lethality of human leptospirosis in the municipality of São Paulo, between 2007 and 2016, according to sociodemographic factors and characteristics of the disease, and to assess the temporal trends of incidence, according to age group and region of residence. Methods: Proportional distributions of leptospirosis cases of residents in the municipality were built and regression models with a Binomial Negative response were adjusted. Results: 2,201 cases of leptospirosis were registered, most of them being males (82%), aged between 20 to 59 years (64.6%), white (39%) or brown (32.8%), residing in the South (27.8%), East (23.8%) and North (18.5%) regions. The overall lethality was 15.1%. The risk was higher in the 20 to 59 age group. There was a downward trend in incidence in all age groups and regions, estimated at 5.6% per year. Conclusions: Despite the downward trend in incidence, leptospirosis is a serious disease with high lethality, affecting mainly male individuals in the age groups considered economically active and living in the peripheral regions of the municipality

Parasitologia Veterinária

Na natureza os seres vivos apresentam variadas formas de inter-relacionamento, dentre elas o parasitismo. Esta surgiu quando, no decorrer da evolução, um organismo associado se sentiu beneficiado de alguma forma, principalmente por ganho de alimento e de proteção. Com o decorrer de milhares de anos e muitas adaptações, o invasor (parasito) se tornou mais e mais dependente do outro ser vivo, seu hospedeiro, ocasionado algum tipo de impacto ou mesmo prejuízo para este. Assim, os parasitos podem ocasionar desde enfermidade subclínica até doença debilitante e fatal.Devido a grande variedade de parasitos, sua ocorrência cosmopolita e seus inúmeros impactos à saúde animal, humana e ambiental, o estudo a parasitologia veterinária tem ganho cada vez mais importância. Nesse contexto, este E-book reúne textos científicos da área, variando entre revisões sistemáticas da literatura, estudos descritivos e analíticos, abordando vários parasitos de impacto na Medicina Veterinária.
