Yellow Fever Virus (YFV) reemergence in Brazil was followed by human suffering and the loss of biodiversity neotropical simians on Atlantic coast. The underlying mechanisms were investigated with special focus distinct landscape fragmentation thresholds affected municipalities. An ecological study epidemiology is employed to assess statistical relationship between events YFV forest municipal landscapes. Negative binomial regression model showed that highly fragmented cover associated an 85%...

The Brazilian Amazon, a vital tropical region, faces escalating threats from human activities, agriculture, and climate change. This study aims to assess the relationship between forest fire occurrences, meteorological factors, hospitalizations due respiratory diseases in Legal Amazon region 2009 2019. Employing simultaneous equation models with official data, we examined association deforestation-induced fires health issues. Over studied period, recorded staggering 1,438,322 wildfires,...

The Malaria Frontier Hypothesis (MFH) is the current model for predicting malaria emergence in Brazilian Amazon. It has two important dimensions, ‘settlement time’ and ‘malaria incidence’, its prediction are: incidence peaks five years after initiation of human settlement declines towards zero an estimated 10 years. Although MFH currently accepted, it been challenged recently. Herein, we described a novel method estimating timeline by using remote sensing technology integrated open-software...
