RESUMO
Resumo A leptospirose é uma doença comum em locais urbanizados sem saneamento básico. A bactéria causadora é transmitida pelos roedores e pode contaminar os cães e estes, as pessoas, sendo a enfermidade considerada zoonótica. O objetivo deste estudo foi conhecer os riscos ambientais à saúde dos moradores de um novo reassentamento urbano, identificando problemas e construindo possíveis soluções, concretizadas em um material de educação ambiental com as demandas específicas encontradas nessa comunidade. Foram realizadas entrevistas domiciliares com perguntas sobre os hábitos e costumes das pessoas com relação aos cuidados com os animais de estimação, presença de animais sinantrópicos nos domicílios e manejo dos resíduos sólidos domésticos. Também foram efetuadas 142 coletas de amostras de sangue nos cães destes domicílios, para sorologia anti-leptospira, das quais 26 (18,3%) foram soropositivas; as sorovariedades mais frequentes foram Icterohaemoragiae (46%) e Canicola (26,9%). A partir dos dados obtidos nas entrevistas domiciliares e dos resultados das análises sanguíneas dos cães, foi possível perceber os principais problemas ambientais e os riscos à saúde a que essa comunidade estava exposta. Foi então elaborado um material educativo para dar respostas e orientações aos problemas ambientais específicos observados e apontados pela comunidade.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Leptospirosis is a common disease in urbanized locations without basic sanitation. The bacteria is transmitted by rodents and can infect dogs that in turn can transmit the disease to people, with the disease being classified as zoonotic. This study aimed to discover what were the environmental health risks for residents of a new urban resettlement, identifying problems and building possible solutions that were implemented into an environmental education material meeting the specific demands encountered in this community. Home interviews were performed, with questions about habits and behavior of the community related to petcare, presence of synanthropic animals in the household and management of solid waste. The group collected 142 blood samples of dogs belonging to these households, for anti-Leptospiral serology. The results were 26 (18.3%) positive, and the most frequent serovars were Icterohaemoragiae (46%) and Canicola (26.9%). From the data obtained from household interviews and blood tests results from dogs, it was possible to observe the main environmental problems and health risks that this community was subject to. It was then developed an educational material to provide answers and guidance to specific environmental problems observed and raised by the community.
