Abstract | This study analyzes the influence of socioenvironmental health determinants on the
maintenance of Plasmodium vivax malaria at the
borders between French Guiana and Brazil. This
study was carried out between 2011 and 2015 in the
city of Oiapoque, Amapá, situated in the Brazilian
Amazon region. The sample included 253 individuals
of both sexes aged between 10 and 60 years. The
disease was predominant in 63.64% (161/253) adult
males. The most affected age group was 20 to 29
years old, with 30% (76/253). About 84.6% did not
complete high school, while 29.6% (75/253) of the
cases had not finished the first degree. Concerning
the environmental aspect, negative correlation
was observed between rainfall and the incidence
of P. vivax malaria (p=0.0026). In terms of mobility,
there was a considerable influx of migrants from
the states of Pará and Maranhão, with 55.73%
(141/253). Lastly, the data indicated that 31.23%
(79/253) of malaria cases were imported from French
Guiana. In summary, the transmission of malaria
in these particular borders involved ecological,
environmental, biological and social factors, which
are expressed in the high social vulnerability of
the population living and circulating in the border
zone, favoring the occurrence of outbreaks and the
maintenance of the disease. | pt_BR |
