Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases have been frequently reported in Brazil. The Program for Monitoring Emerging Diseases (ProMED) is a virtual system with expert curation for monitoring health events, including those occurring in Brazil. This study aimed to describe the ProMED as a complementary surveillance system for emerging infectious diseases in Brazil. It has a retrospective and descriptive design, and was conducted using ProMED-PORT reports that cited Brazil and were published from 1 January 2015, to 31 December 2020. In total, 220 new reports were identified during the study period. Most of these were published between January and June. Reports on humans were predominant ( = 177), and comprised 78 kinds of events, most of which were related to arboviruses. Reports on animals were the second most prevalent ( = 35), and encompassed 18 kinds of events, particularly yellow fever in non-human primates, rabies in different mammals, and sporotrichosis in felines. Six (2.7%) reports were related to humans and animals, while two (0.9%) were related to plants or the environment. Most reports were from Southeast and Northeast regions. ProMED identified leading emerging and reemerging infectious diseases in Brazil, serving as an information source for local and international health authorities.
巴西频繁报告新出现和再次出现的传染病。新兴疾病监测计划（ProMED）是一个经过专家管理的虚拟系统，用于监测健康事件，包括在巴西发生的事件。本研究旨在将ProMED描述为巴西新兴传染病的补充监测系统。它采用回顾性和描述性设计，使用2015年1月1日至2020年12月31日期间引用巴西并发表的ProMED-PORT报告进行。在研究期间共确定了220份新报告。其中大部分在1月至6月期间发表。关于人类的报告占主导地位（=177份），包括78种事件，其中大多数与虫媒病毒有关。关于动物的报告是第二常见的（=35份），涵盖18种事件，特别是非人灵长类动物的黄热病、不同哺乳动物的狂犬病以及猫科动物的孢子丝菌病。6份（2.7%）报告与人类和动物有关，而2份（0.9%）与植物或环境有关。大多数报告来自东南部和东北部地区。ProMED确定了巴西主要的新出现和再次出现的传染病，为地方和国际卫生当局提供了信息来源。
