Projeto Malária financiado pela Fundação Bill & Melinda Gates, CNPq e Decit/Ministério da Saúde realiza painel no Encontro Anual do Conselho Acadêmico da ONU (ACUNS 2022).
Na última semana de junho o Projeto Malária – “Ciência de dados aplicada em informações Epidemiológicas e Demográficas como estratégia para simulação e vigilância de casos de malária na Amazônia brasileira” organizou um painel na sede da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) em Genebra para apresentação e debate das pesquisas em andamento com o tema “Advances, Perspectives and Limitations for Malaria Epidemiological Surveillance in the Brazilian Amazon”.
O grupo conta com pesquisadores do Nepo, IFSP-Campinas, FCA-Unicamp, Unesp-Botucatu e IFCH e LADDEM.
Os trabalhos apresentados podem ser acessados no link a seguir e os registros de participação no evento seguem abaixo!

- Advances, Perspectives and Limitations for Malaria Epidemiological Surveillance in the Brazilian Amazon
- Malaria represents one of the main public health issues in the developing world and is still a great challenge to Brazil. Before the 40ies, malaria cases were distributed across the national territory; after the execution of successful campaigns and the almost full elimination of malaria in the extra-Amazonian region in the 50ies to 60ies, the disease started concentrating in the Amazonian region. This region is a natural habitat to over 40 species of anopheles, some of which are potential malaria vectors, and has characteristics that favor the continuous creation of mosquitoes. This region went through successive events of exploration that led to substantial interference in the Amazonian ecosystem, including deforestation, exposing thousands of people to these vectors and consequently to malaria. On this panel, we present current research focused on “Malaria Epidemiological Surveillance” in the Brazilian Amazon, with the goal of better understanding the infection outbreaks and the impact of migration patterns. On this manner, the following papers will discuss: (1) The economic cost of malaria in Brazil; (2) Hydropower dam construction, population mobility and malaria in the Brazilian Amazon; (3) Malaria profiles in high-risk incidence municipalities in the Brazilian Amazon using PCA; (4) Malaria treatment recommendation model using ML and routine surveillance data.
