Abstract
I n Equator, American tegumentaryleishmaniasis (ATL) has been expanding to urban districts and little is known about the epidemiology. We investigated the profile of 1081 peoples from urban endemic districts, through epidemiologicalsurveyincluding assessment of attitudes, knowledge and practices (KAP) against the disease. The results showed that 15.7% suffered ATL, 41.4% were male, 52.2% female, 88.5% mulattos, 46% have only elementary school, 36.6% High school, 11.9% superior education, and only 3.3% were illiterates, 38.7% received only minimum wage, 22.1% less of minimum wage, and 52.8% are laborers. Respect to housing, 48.7% have cement and brick houses, with drinking water, sewerage and municipal garbage collection services in 73.4%, 64.4% and 86.7% of cases respectively. 87.4% have the presence of backyard,75.4% with earthen floor, 59.4% with shaded and 50.8% with moist. We identify the domestics animals predominantly dogs (56.4%) and chickens (37%). The animal waste is thrown into the yard(45.4%). Between 18 to 22 h, 87.7% of people stay indoors and 51.9% use insecticides.The Logistic univariate regression revealed that 70.4% of the interviewees have knowledge about Leishmaniasis (p= 0.000, OR= 0,221)and the not knowledge of preventions measures in 45.2% of cases shown to bea risk factor (p= 0.000; OR= 3.016). The knowledge of using insecticide inside house (p= 0.001; OR= 0,471) nets and awning (p= 0.000; OR= 0.471) could protect the people against ATL. Our results showed that Equator had a socioeconomic improvements but still a lack of knowledge of preventive measures against ATL.Biography
