Abstract
Aiming to describe the occurrence of american visceral leishmaniasis in the region of Sao Jose do Rio Preto proposed the current study. Upon notification of a suspected case AVL triggers an active search for human cases in the area for municipal surveillance. The Sucen conducts entomological research collection with manual aspiration and the municipality makes the search for dogs by canine survey. The transmission in the region begins in 2008, with the record of 03 human cases in the city of Jales. The entomological investigation indicated the presence of Lutzomyia longipalpis and research focus of the meeting was positive dogs. In the same year, the municipality of Urania confirmed the presence dog positive for AVL and the vector. In 2009, it was reported the first human case in the city of Urania. Concurrently, the city of Santa Fe South reported 03 positive dogs were also noting the presence of L. longipalpis in this city and in Palmeira D'Oeste, Santana da Ponte Pensa, Santa Salete and Votuporanga. In 2010, the city of Aspasia and Marinópolis the occurrence of the vector. Given the above situation for the AVL in the region should worsen. Municipal governments must work together with the surveillance and control strategies to minimize the occurrence of the disease on the population, the intensification of environmental management by creating situations not conducive to the proliferation of vectors.
