Abstract:

Factors associated with the incidence of malaria in the Vale do Amanhecer settlement, Juruena, Mato Grosso in 2005 were analyzed. Two hundred settlers of both genders and ages 18 years and older were interviewed. The prevalence of malaria reported in 2005 was 33.0%. The prevalence ratio showed that the highest prevalence of malaria was found in individuals characterized by the following: involved in gold mining activities (67.0%); from non-endemic areas (43.0%); with inadequate knowledge about the time of greatest activity of the vector (71.0%); and who reported being in the garden after 5 P.M. (59.0%). It was concluded that in the Vale do Amanhecer settlement, factors such as occupation, origin, inadequate knowledge about where malaria is transmitted, inadequate knowledge about the time the mosquito usually bites and individual practices in relation to the peak period of mosquito activity were associated with malaria in 2005.
