RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: to describe the profile and incidence of malaria cases among indigenous and non-indigenous people on the Brazil-French Guiana border, between 2007 and 2016. METHODS: this is a descriptive study based on analysis of cases notified on the Malaria Epidemiological Surveillance Information System (SIVEP-Malaria), organized using Tableau 10.3. RESULTS: a total of 21,729 cases were notified in the period; the highest annual number of notifications was 3,637 (16.7%) in 2009, 1,956 (53.8%) of which related to indigenous people, representing annual parasite incidence (API) of 261/1,000; higher risk of infection was found in the Kumenê base area (API between 13 and 534/1,000) and the Manga base area (API between 55 and 448/1,000); children accounted for 20.0 to 40.0% of notified cases, while pregnant women accounted for 2.0% among non-indigenous people and 1.0% among the indigenous. CONCLUSION: malaria case distribution was unequal between indigenous and non-indigenous people, with greater occurrence among the indigenous.

Resumo Objetivo: descrever o perfil e a incidência dos casos de malária entre indígenas e não indígenas na fronteira franco-brasileira, no período de 2007 a 2016. Métodos: estudo descritivo, realizado a partir de casos notificados no Sistema de Informação de Vigilância Epidemiológica da Malária (SIVEP-Malária), organizados pelo software Tableau 10.3. Resultados: de um total de 21.729 casos no período, o ano de 2009 apresentou o maior registro, 3.637 (16,7%) notificações, das quais 1.956 (53,8%) entre indígenas com incidência parasitária anual (IPA) de 261 por 1 mil habitantes; os polos-base de Kumenê (IPA entre 13 e 534/1 mil hab.) e Manga (IPA entre 55 e 448/1 mil hab.) apresentaram maior risco de infecção; crianças representaram 20,0 a 40,0% dos casos notificados, e gestantes cerca de 2,0% dos casos entre não indígenas e 1,0% entre indígenas. Conclusão: a malária se apresentou de maneira desigual entre indígenas e não indígenas, com maior ocorrência entre povos indígenas.

Conclusión: la malaria es desigual entre los dos grupos, con mayor riesgo para los indígenas.
