Abstract

Leishmaniasis is a public health problem. Recently, cases of the disease have been increasing in magnitude and expansion to new areas, affecting animals and people. Despite the fact of a number of laboratory studies have been developed, Leishmaniasis has not been controlled yet. Laboratory-based surveillance activities, produce data and information that is not completely explored. Therefore, we propose the elaboration of an integrated study of Leishmaniasis via spatial analysis. The new geotechnologies seek innovative attitudes in the study of the disease, allowing the analysis of contexts, profiles, and patterns of the health-disease process. Spatial analysis tools are able to create precise queries and support decision-making by agencies dealing with Leishmaniasis in the state of São Paulo, helping the research institute achieve research excellence.
