Abstract This study aimed to analyse the trend and spatial–temporal clusters of risk transmission COVID-19 in northeastern Brazil. We conducted an ecological using spatial temporal analysis. All confirmed cases Northeast region Brazil were included, from 7 March 22 May 2020. used segmented log-linear regression model assess time trends, local empirical Bayesian estimator, global Moran indexes for The prospective space–time scan statistic was performed Poisson probability distribution model....
Background Despite visceral leishmaniasis (VL) being epidemic in most Brazilian regions, the Northeast region is responsible for highest morbidity and mortality outcomes within country. Objective To analyse spatiotemporal dynamics of VL cases to identify temporal trends high-risk areas transmission, as well association disease with social vulnerability Northeast. Methods We carried out an ecological time series study employing spatial analysis techniques using all confirmed 1,794...
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It a known worldwide for its vulnerability factors, magnitude and mortality. The objective of the study was to analyze spatial temporal dynamics TB in area social inequality northeast Brazil between years 2001 2016.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a global public health emergency with lethality ranging from 1% to 5%. This study aimed identify active high-risk transmission clusters of COVID-19 in Sergipe.We performed prospective space-time analysis using confirmed cases during the first 7 weeks outbreak Sergipe.The statistic detected "active" and emerging spatio-temporal comprising six municipalities south-central region state.The Geographic Information System (GIS) associated scan...
Schistosomiasis is a parasitic infectious disease with worldwide prevalence. The objective of this work to identify risk areas for schistosomiasis mansoni transmission in the State Sergipe, Brazil, during period from 2005 2014.We conducted an epidemiological study secondary data Information System Control Program [Sistema de Informação do Programa Controle da Esquistossomose (SISPCE)]. Temporal trends were analyzed obtain annual percentage change (APC) rates In addition description general...
Abstract: The COVID-19 death rate in Northeast Brazil is much higher when compared to the national average, demanding a study into prognosis of region for planning control measures and preventing collapse health care system. We estimated potential total cumulative cases next three months. Our included all confirmed cases, from March 8 until April 28, 2020, collected official website that reports situation infections Brazil. Boltzmann function was applied data simulation each set regarding...

They are more prevalent in low- middle-income countries, including Brazil, where they continue to be among the leading causes mortality. Objective: This study aims analyze spatiotemporal dynamics mortality due IPDs Brazil from 2000 2019. Methods: We conducted an ecological using data on by Brazilian Mortality Information System. applied segmented log-linear...
Uncontrolled peripheral urbanisation coupled with environmental degradation has affected the status of schistosomiasis in Pernambuco (PE), Brazil. This endemic disease continues to perpetuate its transmission rural areas and also become a cause for concern coastal towns state. The lack basic infrastructure (sanitation health programmes) support new urban leads faecal contamination natural aquatic environments, resulting consequent infection vector snails emergence sources transmission. In...
This study aimed to analyse the clinical and epidemiological indicators, temporal trends spatial distribution of leprosy in patients under 15 years old an endemic area Northeast Brazil.Regional surveillance all reported cases.State Sergipe, Brazil.An ecological time series was conducted, based on secondary data by Brazilian Information System Notifiable Diseases for cases diagnosed Sergipe state (2002-2015).

This article provides information on the spatial distribution of schistosomiasis, correlating snail foci with human cases using analysis. The locations studied were Merepe III, Pantanal, Salinas, and Socó, comprising 70% populated area Porto de Galinhas. Malacological parasitological surveys by a CPqAM/ FIOCRUZ team at location where an epidemic occurred in 2000 identified 15 infected B. glabrata. Human also diagnosed recorded according to residential block. Spatial analysis was performed...
Dengue is a global public health problem. The Virus (DENV) serotypes are transmitted by an Aedes aegypti mosquito. Vector control among the primary methods to prevent disease, especially in tropical countries. This study aimed analyze spatial distribution of dengue and its relationship with social inequalities using modelling. An ecological temporal analysis was conducted state Sergipe, Northeast Brazil, over period 18 years. Spatial modelling used determine influence space on incidence...
In 2000, after heavy rains and floods in Porto de Galinhas, Pernambuco, Brazil, an outbreak of schistosomiasis was recorded, which 62.2% (412 cases) were the acute clinical form. Between 2001-2009, occasional findings Biomphalaria snails parasitised by Schistosoma mansoni indicated that disease transmission still occurring. This motivated a new epidemiological survey between August-December 2010 to provide update occurrence this health hazard investigate process endemisation at locality....
