In the town of Porteirinha, State of Minas Gerais, 23 human cases of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in 1998 and 1999 were recorded.
A study was conducted involving the triad of action recommended for the control of VL. Patients were treated and serologically positive dogs were euthanized quarterly. The pyrethroid insecticide α-cypermethrin was applied in the neighborhoods where human cases were recorded.
A reduction in canine seroprevalence and sand flies occurred following the implementation of control measures, reflecting in a reduction in human cases of VL.
The results show the efficiency of such control measures when used in association.
在米纳斯吉拉斯州的波特林尼亚镇,1998年和1999年记录了23例人类内脏利什曼病(VL)病例。
开展了一项研究,涉及为控制VL推荐的三联行动。对患者进行治疗,每季度对血清学呈阳性的犬实施安乐死。在记录到人类病例的社区喷洒拟除虫菊酯杀虫剂α-氯氰菊酯。
实施控制措施后,犬类血清阳性率和白蛉数量有所下降,这反映在人类VL病例的减少上。
结果表明,联合使用这些控制措施具有有效性。
