| Sumario: | In this work, developed in the scope of Health Geography, the
manifestation of dengue fever in the State of Paraná is
analyzed focusing on the relationship of its incidence to vector
infestation in buildings and to regional climatic conditions.
Aspects concerning the illness incidence and its relation to
temperature and rainfall were analyzed from a space-time
perspective of occurrence. The temporal cut analysis of this
research comprises the year in which the first native case of
dengue was confirmed in Paraná (1993) up to 2003. Among
the suggestions for monitoring and controlling dengue in
Paraná, the usage of climatic forecasts as well as the
development of a geographical information system integrating
data from Sinan, Sisfad and socio-environmental information
were mentioned. |
