Chikungunya (CHIKV) é uma doença viral pertencente à família Togaviridae trasmitida principalmente nas áreas urbanas pelo mosquito Aedes aegypti. Pesquisas apontam que surtos recentes da CHIKV podem está relacionada com a sazonalidade, como exemplo João Pessoa, PB, representando uma emergência na saúde pública e de estudos para compreender a sua ocorrência nessa região. Dessa forma, esta pesquisa se apresenta com o objetivo de estudar a dispersão dos casos de Chikungunya e a sua relação com o clima urbano na cidade de João Pessoa/PB. Para isso, foram coletados dados dos casos de Chikungunya junto a Secretária de Saúde do munícipio visando quantificar os casos da doença por bairros da área de estudo. Também foram coletados os dados referentes clima (temperatura, umidade relativa do ar e pluviosidade), da área de estudo, a partir dos dados do Instituto Nacional de Metereologia-INMET, com posterior relação com os casos de CHIKV, por meio de gráficos. A periodicidade de coleta dos dados consistiu em 2015 a 2017, levando em consideração períodos de estiagem e chuvoso. Os resultados revelam que os casos de Chikungunya foram registrados especialmente nos bairros: Cristo, Cruz das Armas, Mandacaru, Mangabeira, Oitizeiro, Torre e Varjão. Dessa forma, pode-se afirmar que as condições climáticas juntamente com as atividades humanas proporcionam o desenvolvimento do mosquito com consequente transmissão da doença. Sendo assim, torna-se imprescindível essa compreensão para a promoção de políticas públicas de prevenção que possa auxiliar os tomadores de decisão na gestão da saúde pública do município.
The cases of Chikungunya and its relationship with the climatic conditions of the municipality of João Pessoa, PBA B S T R A C T
Chikungunya (CHIKV) is a viral disease belonging to the family Togaviridae transmitted mainly in urban areas by the mosquito Aedes aegypti. Research indicates that recent outbreaks of CHIKV may be related to seasonality, such as João Pessoa, PB, representing an emergency in public health and studies to understand its occurrence in this region. Thus, this research is presented with the objective of studying the dispersion of the Chikungunya cases and their relation with the urban climate in the city of João Pessoa / PB. For this, data from the Chikungunya cases were collected from the Municipal Secretary of Health to quantify the cases of the disease in neighborhoods of the study area. Data on the climate (temperature, relative air humidity and rainfall) of the study area were also collected, based on data from the INMET National Institute of Meteorology (INMET), with a subsequent relationship with the CHIKV cases, using graphs. The periodicity of data collection consisted of 2015 to 2017, taking into account periods of drought and rainy season. The results reveal that the cases of Chikungunya were registered especially in the neighborhoods: Cristo, Cruz das Armas, Mandacaru, Mangabeira, Oitizeiro, Torre and Varjão. Thus, it can be said that climatic conditions together with human activities provide the development of the mosquito with consequent transmission of the disease. Therefore, this understanding is essential for the promotion of public prevention policies that can assist decision-makers in the management of public health in the municipality.
