Estratégias para o controle da esquistossomose mansoni no PSF Dr. Edésio Soares de Carvalho Ferros-MG

Abstract

The relevance of this intervention project is the importance in identifying the factors that hinder and interfere in the control of schistosomiasis mansoni which is a parasitic disease endemic character, waterborne and caused by helminth Schistosoma mansoni. Affects various areas around the world, especially in South American and African continents. In Brazil, its prevalence is closely related to existing sanitary conditions, lack of information and awareness of the population and the incorrect application of the control measures of the Ministry of health that are performed by the Schistosomiasis Control Program (ECP). The sum of these factors results in control difficulties of this endemic disease. Thus, we conclude that there is effective control of the disease if the Government, the health system and society do not go together, seeking solutions to political, social and economic issues that determine the process of illness in conjunction with biological factors. In this context presented this intervention project, seeks to propose effective strategies to control Schistosomiasis mansoni in FHP Edésio Dr. Soares de Carvalho. Were conducted through surveys of scientific articles, book of human parasitology, the Ministry of Health's Primer, accessing trusted research sites (Scielo, bireme, pubmed, Capes's journals).
