The project seeks to promote advances in knowledge and improvement based on current and ongoing public policies related to the control of urban arboviruses on data analysis that aim to improve decision-making promptly and in a precise and effective manner.The national guidelines define the responsibilities concerning urban arboviruses, the State monitors and evaluates the municipalities f…
The current epidemiological scenario in Brazil is worrying since in the last years thousands of cases of dengue (DEN), zika (ZIK) and chikungunya (CHIK) have been reported. These arboviruses and their complications are important public health problems, and studies in the state of São Paulo are extremely fragmented, often unrelated to the triple vector x population x environment. The Aedes…
In Brazil, visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a serious public health problem because of its magnitude, geographical expansion and potential harms caused by illnesses, including death. However, VL is largely ignored in discussions of tropical disease priorities. Thus, this study aimed to identify factors associated with the expansion of VL and the dispersion of its vector, Lutzomyia longipalp…
Dengue is an infectious viral disease and one of the most important arboviruses in the world. The virus is maintained in a cycle of urban transmission man - mosquitoes - man: The vector control is a prevention strategies most commonly used. Often the Dengue studies regard only reported cases without grouping data relating to past epidemics. Through a prospective cohort study lasting from …

Scorpionism is a serious public health problem that particularly affects areas with a tropical and subtropical climate, which are more conducive to the life and reproduction of scorpions. In Brazil, poisoning with scorpion toxin, particularly the Tityus serrulatus species, the most venomous in the country, leads to a large number of cases, having exceeded 120,000 cases per year since 2017…
Yellow fever (YF) is a non-contagious viral disease of short duration and unstable severity, being mild and, in some cases, severe, in which it typically presents with jaundice and bleeding, being able to have deaths due to viscerotropic disease. The last epidemic, which began in late 2016, recorded 1.904 of human cases, with 547 deaths and 2.116 epizootic cases in Brazil, mainly in the S…

Chikungunya and Zika are arboviruses that present similar signs and symptoms, making clinical and laboratory diagnosis difficult; they are transmitted by the same vectors, Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus. Their occurrence is likely related to the same climatic, environmental, and socioeconomic factors; a simultaneous occurrence in space and time is expected. Furthermore, the Pan American…
Dengue is considered a neglected disease and an important public health problem, being one of the leading causes of death and hospitalization among arboviruses, affecting several countries in the world, including Brazil. In the country, the current scenario is considered hyperendemic for the disease, with an increase in the occurrence of fatal cases and with the co-circulation of the four…
Mosquito-borne disease affects million people in the world, and its transmission area continues to expand due to many factors linked to urban sprawl, increased travel and global warming. The Aedes aegypti mosquito plays a central role in the dissemination of dengue, zika, chikungunya and urban yellow fever. Current preventative measures include mosquito control programs but unfortunately,…
